Abstract
To explore formic acid (FA) as a hydrogen carrier, the authors investigate hydrogen storage and production via formate salts generated from CO₂ reduction under supercritical conditions. Using developed Cp*Ir catalysts, they achieve a formate concentration of 0.81 mol/L, which is converted to FA (0.50 mol/L) with a 96% yield via ion exchange. FA dehydrogenation exceeds 98% conversion, achieving >90% hydrogen recovery. These results highlight formate salts as an efficient hydrogen carrier for future energy applications. More details can be found in the Research Article by Hajime Kawanami, Seo Ono, and Ryoichi Kanega (DOI: 10.1002/open.202500032).
期刊介绍:
ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.
