Abstract

The aim of this work is to investigate the feasibility of simultaneous hydrogen production by electrochemical decomposition of formic acid via solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) in an electrochemical reactor. Titanium oxide coated with iridium, oxide as anode and carbon fibre with Pt catalyst as cathode were used in the experiments.
