Electroreduction offers a promising route for converting CO2 into value-added chemicals using renewable electricity. Among the possible products, formic acid is particularly attractive because it is an important chemical feedstock and a potential liquid hydrogen carrier. However, developing catalysts that convert CO2 into formic acid with both high efficiency and selectivity remains a major challenge.
