9-1-4 Hydrogen Storage Technology using Formic Acid as Hydrogen Carrier

Abstract

The hydrogen storage system using an interconversion cycle between formic acid and CO₂ has received much attention today. Recently, we have developed iridium-bipyridine based catalysts for dehydrogenation of formic acid and hydrogenation of CO₂. Here, we report about a new catalyst design, which is containing a diazole moiety on the ligand, for dehydrogenation of formic acid toward a practical application.
