Description

To significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy transition is highly demanded from carbon-based fossil fuel to clean fuel, hydrogen. How to store and transport hydrogen safely, easily, in large volumes, and for a long time in the upcoming hydrogen society is an important technical challenge. Liquid organic hydrogen carriers(LOHCs) are the key technology for storing and transporting hydrogen. Up-to-date studies to secure LOHC systems have mostly concentrated on hydrogenation/dehydrogenation catalysts and process development once a target chemical is widely accepted by the associated community. Albeit this looks like a reasonable approach, one must professionally evaluate and address how much feedstock quality swings conversion efficiency, product yield, byproduct formation, etc.
The research presented in this talk was devoted to understanding LOHC systems from the chemical point of view by identifying the structural isomeric composition of LOHC and reaction intermediates during de/hydrogenation. Our findings through the molecular engineering approach represent distinct and important progress in the development and comprehension of LOHCs as the hydrogen infrastructure.
