New research shows that formic acid could be used as a safe, easy-to-transport source of hydrogen for fuel cells. Matthias Beller and his colleagues at the Leibniz Institute of Catalysis, in Rostock, ...
Figure 2: C–O cleavage of lignin model compounds with formic acid. An attempt to use unoxidized lignin in the reaction resulted in only 7.2wt% yield of low-molecular-mass aromatics. The products that ...
