Formic acid (FA) has been extensively studied as one of the most promising hydrogen energy carriers today. The catalytic decarboxylation of FA ideally leads to the formation of CO2 and H2 that can be applied in fuel cells. A large number of transition‐metal based homogeneous catalysts with high acti...
