Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier Concepts and Catalysts for Hydrogenation and Dehydrogenation Reactions.

Background: The issue of renewable energy (RE) source intermittency, such as wind and solar, along with the geographically uneven distribution of the global RE potential, makes it imperative to establish an energy transport medium to balance the energy demand and supply areas. A promising energy vector to address this situation is hydrogen, which is considered a clean energy carrier for various mobile and portable applications. Unfortunately, at standard pressure and temperature, its energy content per volume is very low (0.
