Mechanistic insights into hydrogen production from formic acid catalyzed by Pd@N-doped graphene: The role of the nitrogen dopant

Preeyaporn Poldorn et al.

Summary: In this study, periodic density functional theory calculations were used to investigate the effect of N-doping on the decomposition of formic acid. A series of Pd single atoms deposited in the single vacancy of N-doped graphene sheets were designed as catalysts. The Pd-N3Gr catalyst showed the highest catalytic activity for the dehydrogenation of formic acid, yielding the highest amount of hydrogen.

The role of CeO2 morphology on dehydrogenation from formic acid over Pd/CeO2 catalysts

Tingting Cao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of different morphologies of CeO2 on the dehydrogenation of formic acid with Pd/CeO2 catalysts. It was found that the diverse morphologies of CeO2 could influence the chemical environment and dispersion of Pd species, with Pd/CeO2-H (hollow sphere) showing high catalytic activity.

Efficient decomposition of formic acid into hydrogen on Pd nanoparticles anchored in amine- pyridine polymer networks without extra additives at ambient condition

Rui-Lin Wei et al.

Summary: The study presents a catalyst of Pd nanoparticles anchored in amino-pyridine polymer networks, which effectively enhances the catalytic performance of hydrogen production from formic acid decomposition by strong interaction between Pd and nitrogen in the polymer. This modification results in improved catalytic stability and CO-free production, indicating the potential for further tuning means for enhanced catalysis.

Decomposition of Additive-Free Formic Acid Using a Pd/C Catalyst in Flow: Experimental and CFD Modelling Studies

Sanaa Hafeez et al.

Summary: The study found that under mild conditions of 30 degrees Celsius, the decomposition of formic acid for hydrogen production using a Pd/C catalyst and fixed bed microreactor can be achieved effectively. It was also observed that after multiple reactivation processes, the catalyst could maintain its activity.
