Efficient PdNi and PdNi@Pd-catalyzed hydrogen generation via formic acid decomposition at room temperature

摘要

Formic acid (FA) holds great potential as a convenient source of hydrogen for sustainable chemical synthesis and renewable energy storage. Herein, the non-noble metal nickel (Ni) exhibits superior promoting effect in improving the catalytic activity of Pd toward high activity and selectivity for FA decomposition at room temperature.
