Efficient Subnanometric Gold-Catalyzed Hydrogen Generation via Formic Acid Decomposition under Ambient Conditions

Abstract

Formic acid (FA) has tremendous potential as a safe and convenient source of hydrogen for sustainable chemical synthesis and renewable energy storage, but controlled and efficient dehydrogenation of FA by a robust solid catalyst under ambient conditions constitutes a major challenge. Here, we report that a previously unappreciated combination of subnanometric gold and an acid-tolerant oxide support facilitates the liberation of CO-free H(2) from FA. Applying an ultradispersed gold catalyst comprising TEM-invisible gold subnanoclusters deposited on zirconia to a FA-amine mixture affords turnover frequencies (TOFs) up to 1590 per hour and a turnover number of more than 118,400 at 50 °C. The reaction was accelerated at higher temperatures, but even at room temperature, a significant H(2) evolution (TOFs up to 252 h(-1) after 20 min) can still be obtained. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction is unimolecular in nature and proceeds via a unique amine-assisted formate decomposition mechanism on Au-ZrO(2) interface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
