Abstract:

Formic acid (FA) has attracted extensive attention as a hydrogen storage material. Here, we develop two heterogeneous catalysts based on porous organic polymers (POPs). After loading the Ru species, the catalyst bearing the triphenylphosphine ligand showed excellent performance in terms of activity and stability for the decomposition of FA to produce hydrogen.
