[1E01] Nano-catalyst engineering for storage and release of hydrogen energy using formic acid as a promising liquid carrier

○Kohsuke Mori¹ (1. Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University)

Formic acid (FA, HCOOH), which is a liquid at room temperature and contains 4.4 wt% hydrogen, is widely recognized as a convenient hydrogen carrier, which realizes an economical CO2- mediated hydrogen storage energy cycle. Thus the development of reliable heterogeneous catalysts targeted to both FA dehydrogenation and FA synthesis is an urgent yet challenging task. Herein the state of the art in the exploitation of promising nano-catalysts designed by surface and interface engineering with atomic precision for this targeted reaction are presented, which further provides the precise catalytic site design protocols.
