Scientists have created a device that captures carbon dioxide and transforms it into a useful chemical in a single step. The new electrode works with realistic exhaust gases rather than requiring ...

As the world seeks solutions to reduce carbon emissions and transition toward a sustainable and cost efficient chemical industry, efficient utilization of CO₂ has become a major challenge. In response ...

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 ...

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 ...

Held together by only one carbon atom, formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. The market for this chemical is relatively small as well—a fraction of the demand for organic acids such as ...

Joost de Gouw is at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences and in the Department of Chemistry, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, USA. Formic acid constitutes a ...
