Matthias Beller and his team at the Leibniz Institute of Catalysis in Rostock have succeeded in the controlled extraction of hydrogen from formic acid without the need for a high-temperature reforming ...

A research team in Germany has developed bimetallic two-dimensional supercrystals with remarkable catalytic properties. They can be used to produce hydrogen from formic acid decomposition and ...

Hydrogen fuel cells have long been floated as a potential platform for zero-emission vehicles, but problems with efficiency and storage have put up some roadblocks. Rather than using hydrogen in its ...

This release is available in German. One of the central challenges of our time is the supply of enough environmentally friendly and resource-efficient energy to our society. In this context, hydrogen ...

Our plastic waste problem is a large one, and it’s only getting larger. This is a huge environmental problem that requires some big picture thinking, but scientists are also exploring more subtle ways ...

Hajime Kawanami (Leader) and Masayuki Iguchi (AIST Postdoctoral Researcher), the Micro Flow Chemistry Group, the Research Institute for Chemical Process Technology (Director: Satoshi Hamakawa), the ...

Formic acid dimers represent a paradigmatic model for studying the intricacies of hydrogen bond dynamics. When two formic acid molecules associate through dual hydrogen bonds, they form a stable, ...

Scientists have completed their solution for transforming hydrogen gas into a less flammable liquid fuel that can be safely stored and transported. Another possible application of their technology ...
