Abstract

We report here on a new series of CO 2 -reducing molecular catalysts based on Earth-abundant elements that are very selective for the production of formic acid in dimethylformamide (DMF)/water mixtures (Faradaic efficiency of 90 ± 10%) at moderate overpotentials (500–700 mV in DMF measured at the mi...
