Formic Acid Electro‐Synthesis by Concurrent Cathodic CO2 Reduction and Anodic CH3OH Oxidation
Abstract
The electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide into energy‐carrying compounds or value‐added chemicals is of great significance for diminishing the greenhouse effect and the efficient utilization of carbon‐dioxide emissions, but it suffers from the kinetically sluggish anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and its less value‐added production of O 2. We report a general strategy for efficient formic‐acid synthesis by a concurrent cathodic CO 2 reduction and anodic partial methanol‐oxidation reaction (MOR) using mesoporous SnO 2 grown on carbon cloth (mSnO 2/CC) and CuO nanosheets grown on copper foam (CuONS/CF) as cathodic and anodic catalysts, respectively. Anodic CuONS/CF enables an extremely lowered potential of 1.47 V vs. RHE (100 mA cm−2), featuring a significantly enhanced electro‐activity in comparison to the OER. The cathodic mSnO 2/CC shows a rather high Faraday efficiency of 81 % at 0.7 V vs. RHE for formic‐acid production from CO 2. The established electrolyzer equipped with CuONS/CF at the anode and mSnO 2/CC at the cathode requires a considerably low cell voltage of 0.93 V at 10 mA cm−2 for formic‐acid production at both sides.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
