Reversible, carbon dioxide mediated chemical hydrogen storage was first demonstrated using a heterogeneous Pd catalyst supported on mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (Pd/mpg-C3N4). The Pd nanoparticles were found to be uniformly dispersed onto mpg-C3N4 with an average size of 1.7 nm without any agglomeration and further exhibit superior activity for the dehydrogenation of formic acid with a turnover frequency of 144 h−1 even in the absence of external bases at room temperature. Initial DFT stu

A convenient and safe method for the synthesis of ammonia triborane is reported along with studies of its hydrolytic reactions that demonstrate ammonia triborane is both soluble and stable in water but that upon the addition of acid or an appropriate transition metal catalyst it rapidly releases hydrogen. These studies indicate that ammonia triborane is a promising material for chemical hydrogen storage applications.

Amine-functionalized mesoporous silica-supported ultrasmall Pd nanoparticles catalyze hydrogen evolution from formic acid at ambient temperature.

The Ti-based heterogeneous catalysts TiSBA15, Bu cap TiSBA15, TS-1, and [Ti,Al]-MFI were investigated with respect to controlling factors for the competitive decomposition of aqueous H 2 O 2 during selective catalytic oxidations. DRUV–vis spectroscopy revealed that the titanium species in these materials exist mainly in isolated, tetrahedral coordination environments. The observed rates of H 2 O 2 decomposition at 65 °C in acetonitrile decreased in the following order: Bu cap TiSBA15 > TiSBA15 a

A series of Pd/SBA-15-amine materials (where “Amine” is primary amine, secondary amine and tertiary amine) containing Pd nanoparticles are synthesized and their catalytic properties for formic acid dehydrogenation are investigated.

Iodine oxidation of B(3)H(8)(-) in glyme solution to produce (glyme)B(3)H(7), followed by displacement of the coordinated glyme by reaction with anhydrous ammonia provides a safe and convenient preparation of ammonia triborane, NH(3)B(3)H(7) (1). X-ray crystallographic determinations and DFT computational studies of both NH(3)B(3)H(7) and the NH(3)B(3)H(7) x 18-crown-6 adduct demonstrate that while computations predict a symmetric single bridging-hydrogen conformation, NH(3)B(3)H(7) has a highly

Hydrogen storage in the form of a liquid chemical is an important issue that can bridge the gap between sustainable hydrogen production and utilization with a fuel cell, which is one of the essential sectors in the hydrogen economy. Herein, the application of a potential liquid organic hydrogen carrier, consisting of biphenyl and diphenylmethane, is demonstrated as a safe and economical hydrogen storage material. The presented material is capable of a reversible storage and release of molecular
