The electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable fuels and feedstocks has gained great attention recently due to the global urgency to mitigate the rapid climate change. A wide variety of chemicals can be obtained through the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Among all the chemicals generated through CO2RR, formic acid has attracted great interest because of its wide applications in silage preservation in agriculture, as an antibacterial agent in animal food additives, as a chemical additive in leather and tanning processing, as a chemical component in textile dyeing and finishing, as a reagent in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis, and as deicing agents and a component in drilling fluids. Recently, the use of formic acid as a feedstock for biorefineries has also attracted increasing interest.
