The electrochemical reduction of CO2 is a reaction of much current interest as a possible reaction for energy storage. In this paper, we show that on electrodeposited palladium on platinum, a good formic acid oxidation catalyst, the onset potential for CO2 reduction to formic acid is dramatically reduced in comparison to bulk palladium. Two different reaction pathways are observed; a pathway at low...
