The global chemical industry sits at a crossroads. For more than a century, it has relied on fossil fuels—both as feedstock ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a method that gives access to the valuable raw materials formate and hydrogen from the waste product glycerol. Formates are the ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed an innovative electrochemical cell that efficiently converts captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate, a green fuel. This new system, ...

Researchers have found that manganese, an abundant and inexpensive metal, can be used to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into formate, a potential hydrogen source for fuel cells. The key was a ...

Hydrogen has long been sold as a clean fuel, yet most of it is still produced from fossil gas with a heavy carbon footprint. A new electrochemical route now promises to flip that script by turning ...

Researchers at the University of Warwick report that when the sodium formate is used in combination with a metal-based cancer treatment it can greatly increase its ability to shut down cancer cells.

Methyl formate, a clear, volatile liquid, is the simplest carboxylate ester. It can be made in the lab by the acid-catalyzed esterification of formic acid and methanol. Industrially, it is produced by ...

Ethyl formate is a simple aliphatic ester that is full of benefits and concerns. It’s a clear, slightly oily liquid with a pleasant, rumlike odor and the flavor of raspberries. The ester occurs in ...
