Abstract

The novel synthesis of formic acid has been achieved in a room temperature ionic liquid via the reaction of electro-activated carbon dioxide and protons on pre-anodised platinum. Only mild reaction conditions of room temperature and 1 atm CO2 were used. This work highlights the effect of pre-anodisation on Pt surfaces.
