Formic acid as a renewable fuel can be converted to clean electricity in fuel cells by high-efficient electrochemical oxidation. The conversion rate is fundamentally dictated by the synergy of interactive aspects: catalytic activity, accessibility to active sites, electron transfer, and anti-poisoni...
