High-pressure hydrogen generation from dehydrogenation of formic acid

Abstract

Recently, it has been demonstrated that high-pressure hydrogen gas was produced by dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA). This technology may reduce the overall energy and cost required for the multiple stages of compression of high-pressure hydrogen supply at present. Some successful results towards this goal have been achieved by the scientific community so far. In this review, we present the recent advances in the development of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for high-pressure gas generation (H₂ and CO₂) from formic acid.
