An Efficient CoAuPd/C Catalyst for Hydrogen Generation from Formic Acid at Room Temperature

摘要

Nowadays, searching for the effective hydrogen (H2) storage/ generation materials remains one of the most difficult challenges toward a fuel-cell-based H2 economy as a long-term solution for secure energy in future.Formic acid (FA, HCOOH), a major product of biomass processing with high-energy density, nontoxicity, and excellent stability at room temperature, has recently attracted tremendous research interests for H2 storage and generation. Moreover, through the potential hydrogenation of waste carbon dioxide (CO2) from industry, FA can be regenerated, and this makes the storage of Ff2 in FA more attractive for a sustainable and reversible energy storage cycle.
