Abstract
N-doping of carbon support prevents sintering of Cu and provides its high catalytic activity in H2 formation from formic acid.
Highlights
Over the last decade, interest in the conversion of biomassderived acids to valuable products has increased
Hydrogen production from formic acid decomposition over bulk Cu and Cu supported on oxide supports attracted a lot of attention long time ago and the results were discussed by Iglesia and Boudart.[2]
The objectives of the present work are to determine the character of interaction of Cu species with an N-doped carbon, and to elucidate the role of this interaction in hydrogen production from formic acid decomposition
Summary
Interest in the conversion of biomassderived acids to valuable products has increased. The simplest organic acid is formic acid, which can be produced from biomass cellulose as well as from fats and oils.[1] This acid can be used for storage of hydrogen for different applications. Supported Pt-group metal catalysts are o en applied for formic acid decomposition. Hydrogen production from formic acid decomposition over bulk Cu and Cu supported on oxide supports attracted a lot of attention long time ago and the results were discussed by Iglesia and Boudart.[2] These authors
