We report the use of 1,2,3-triazole (Tz)-containing water microdroplets for gas-phase carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction at room temperature. Using a coaxial sonic spraying setup, the CO 2 can be efficiently captured by Tz and converted to formic acid (HCOOH; FA) at the gas−liquid interface (GLI). A mass spectrometer operated in negative ion mode monitors the capture of CO 2 to form the bicarbonate anion (HCO 3 − ) and conversion to form the formate anion (HCOO − ). Varied FA species were successfully identified by MS/MS experiments including the formate monomer ([FA − H] − , m/z 45), the dimer ([2FA − H] − , m/z 91; [2FA + Na − 2H] − , m/z 113), the trimer ([3FA − H] − , m/z 137), and some other adducts (such as [FA − H + H 2 CO 3 ] − , m/z 107; [2FA + Na − 2H + Tz] − , m/z 182).The reaction conditions were systematically optimized to make the maximum conversion yield reach over 80% with an FA concentration of approximately 71 ± 3.1 μM. The mechanism for the reaction is speculated to be that Tz donates the proton and the hydroxide (OH − ) at the GLI, resulting in a stepwise yield of electrons to reduce gas-phase CO 2 to FA.
