Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A robust catalyst for the selective dehydrogenation of formic acid to liberate hydrogen gas has been designed computationally, and also successfully demonstrated experimentally. This is the first such catalyst not based on transition metals, and it exhibits very encouraging performance. It represents an important step towards the use of renewable formic acid as a hydrogen‐storage and transport vector in fuel and energy applications.</p> </abstract>
