Read our paper with Ali Rauf’s group at Lahore University of Management Sciences on how to turn plastic waste and CO₂ into formic acid using electricity. We stabilised electrodes based on earth-abundant elements by redox-doping to enable simultaneous oxidation of ethylene glycol and reduction of CO₂. Both half-rections yield formic acid as the sole product, making this a green, convergent approach to valueable feedstocks currently produced from fossil reosurces (link to paper).
