Abstract
Uniform octahedral SnO<sub>2</sub> single crystals have been well tuned and coupled with chlor-alkali process, which could not only use renewable electricity to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> and store H<sub>2</sub> into formate, and also produce a higher-value Cl<sub>2</sub> instead of cheap O<sub>2</sub>.
