Abstract
The water-soluble formate/bicarbonate redox couple holds promise for electrochemical energy storage, hydrogen transportation, and carbon dioxide (CO2) management. Because electrochemical transformations in these electrolytes are accompanied by homogeneous reactions, we investigate electrolyte speciation as a function of reaction environment. In addition, we study the electrocatalytic oxidation of formate in the absence of supporting salt.
