“On–Off” Control for On-Demand Hydrogen Production from the Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid

In order to effectively use the produced H2, the exploration of “on–off” control for on-demand hydrogen production is still a practical matter of supreme importance. Herein, a surfactant-free and facile method was successfully employed to synthesize Ag–Pd/C nanocomposites via simple alloying of commercial Pd/C and Ag for synergistically promoting H2 production from formic acid (FA). The optimal Ag16–Pd1/C nanocomposite presents the highest...
