Abstract
Redox flow battery systems utilizing the reversible interconversion between carbon dioxide, (or bicarbonate or carbonate) and formate/formic acid. The battery system comprises an electrocatalyst that converts carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, or carbonate into formate to store electron equivalents, and oxidizes formate to release stored electrons and discharge. A non-limiting example of an electrocatalyst that can be used for reversible interconversion of carbon dioxide and formate is Pt(depe).
