Abstract

Abstract : Formic acid (HCOOH) has been considered as a potential liquid source and storage material for hydrogen. Its high volumetric hydrogen capacity of 53 g H2 L −, equivalent to an energy density of 1.77 kW h L −1, makes it attractive for automotive and mobile applications. A new class of PN 3 ‐pincer complexes were employed for the selective hydrogen generation from HCOOH, and a long life time of 150 h with a turnover number over 1 million was achieved.
