A compact ethanol fuel processor with an all-in-one design of the auto-thermal reforming (ATR) and water-gas-shift (WGS) reactors was developed. The fuel processor has unique features, such as the ...

Formate received a significant attention as storing H2 in chemical bonds to the concept of H2 carriers. In this report, hydrogen generation from formate was optimized systematically by varying reac...

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 hydrogen with 6.9 wt % and 60 g-H2 L–1 of gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen storage capacities, respectively, presenting superior properties as a hydrogen carrier. Equilibrium conversion and the required enthalpies of dehydrogenation are calculated using a density functional theory. Experimentally, dehydrogenation conversion of greater than 99% is achieved, producing molecular hydrogen with greater than 99.9% purity, with negligible side reactions; this is further confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrosc...
