I’m a big-time chemical and a clue to how chemists are celebrating Earth Week this year. What molecule am I? Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. Its discovery in the distillation products of ...

Photocatalytic hydrogen generation from formic acid harnesses solar energy to drive the dehydrogenation of formic acid into molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide under mild conditions. Formic acid ...

In a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, researchers developed an acid/alkali asymmetric electrolyzer for acidic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) coupled with alkaline ...

Flowchart of the process (above) for producing formic acid through the conversion of newly developed carbon dioxide (CO2) using Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU), and pilot-scale process verification ...

Ants use their own acid to disinfect themselves and their stomachs. A team has found that formic acid kills harmful bacteria in the animal's food, thereby reducing the risk of disease. At the same ...

Insights from experiments designed to push chemical systems far from equilibrium allowed an international group of researchers to discover a new major source of formic acid over the Pacific and Indian ...
