Thermocatalytic formic acid dehydrogenation: recent advances and emerging trends

Abstract

As a state-of-the-art resource for in situ hydrogen supply, formic acid has recently attracted considerable attention due to its advantages of high hydrogen content, low toxicity, and easy storage and...

Fabricating Ga doped and MgO embedded nanomaterials for sorption-enhanced steam reforming of methanol

“…where X(CH 3 OH) denotes the methanol conversion. The selectivities of H 2 , CO 2 , and CO were calculated using eqn (7):…”

“…5,6 However, the widespread use of PEMFCs is still restricted by the bulky and ammable storage and transportation of hydrogen. 7,8 Methanol is a suitable candidate for hydrogen storage and transportation due to its low reforming temperature (200-300 C, absence of a strong C-C bond), high H/C mole ratio, lack of sulfur and nitrogen emissions, high hydrogen storage capacity, and biological renewability. 9,10 Of the methanol-to-hydrogen pathways, steam reforming of methanol (SRM, reaction (1)) is one of the most widely investigated technologies due to its relatively high hydrogen concentration and low reforming temperature.…”

Formic acid dehydrogenation by [Ru(η6-benzene)(L)Cl] catalysts: L = 2-methylquinolin-8-olate and quinolin-8-olate

“…The dehydrogenation of formic acid releases H 2 and CO 2 in the presence of a catalyst, and the CO 2 generated is recycled back to formic acid. [9][10][11][12] For this purpose, developing an effective catalyst for selective generation of H 2 is essential. Coffey et al introduced the dehydrogenation of formic acid by utilising transition metal complexes.…”

Palladium catalyzes hydrogen production from formic acid: significant impact of support polypyrrole

“…5–8 Among these various hydrogen storage materials, composed of hydrogen-bonded polymers and widely used as a raw material for hydrogen production, 9–12 formic acid is currently one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials due to its low toxicity, high density, safety, low cost, and easy storage and transportation nowadays. 13–16…”
