There is a new way to make formic acid from carbon dioxide

Recently, researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have jointly developed a method for efficiently converting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into high-value, high-purity liquid fuel formic acid

The joint research team developed a low-cost, high-activity copper-based single-atom catalyst to achieve a single conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid

Using this new technology, researchers have achieved a step-by-step preparation of a pure formic acid aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.

The use of wind, water, solar and other sustainable energy "green electricity" to electrolyze the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into high-value chemicals is an emerging technology for the use of carbon dioxide and is expected to become an important means of reducing carbon emissions
