Electroreduction of CO 2 : Advances in the Continuous Production of Formic Acid and Formate

The study of the electrochemical CO2 reduction to obtain formate (HCOO–) or formic acid (HCOOH) is receiving much attention as a promising technology. Since continuous–mode operation has become necessary for practical implementation of electrochemical CO2 reduction, recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of research approaches focusing on this aspect. This Focus Review provides a unified discussion of the available studies on the continuous electroreduction of CO2 to HCOO–/HCOOH, considering the different important features of process design. Moreover, this paper quantitatively assesses the performance of different studies that involve continuous electrochemical reactors for converting CO2 to…
