Analysis of Formic Acid

Formic acid is one of the products of carbon dioxide reduction reactions using a photocatalyst. It can be analyzed with an ion chromatograph (IC), a gas chromatograph (GC), or a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS).

Formic acid in an aqueous solution can be analyzed with an IC. Formic acid in an organic solvent can be analyzed with a GC or a GCMS.
