High-quality hydrogen from the catalyzed decomposition of formic acid by Pd–Au/C and Pd–Ag/C

Abstract

Pd-Au/C and Pd-Ag/C were found to have a unique characteristic of evolving high-quality hydrogen dramatically and steadily from the catalyzed decomposition of liquid formic acid at convenient temperature, and further this was improved by the addition of CeO(2)(H(2)O)(x).
