The lack of safe, efficient, and economical hydrogen storage technologies is a hindrance to the realization of the hydrogen economy. Reported herein is a reversible formate-based carbon-neutral hydrogen storage system that is established over a novel catalyst comprising palladium nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon. The support was fabricated by a hard template method and nitridated under a flow of ammonia. Detailed analyses demonstrate that this bicarbonate/formate redox equilibrium is promoted by the cooperative role of the doped nitrogen functionalities and the well-dispersed, electron-enriched palladium nanoparticles.

Electrochemical water splitting is a promising method for generating green hydrogen gas, offering a sustainable approach to addressing global energy challenges. However, the sluggish kinetics of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) poses a great obstacle to its practical application. Recently, increasing attention has been focused on introducing various external stimuli to modify the OER process.

Organic compounds present promising options for sustainable zinc battery electrodes. Nevertheless, the electrochemical properties of current organic electrodes still lag behind those of their inorganic counterparts. In this study, nitro groups were incorporated into pyrene-4, 5, 9, 10-tetraone (PTO), resulting in an elevated discharge voltage due to their strong electron-withdrawing capabilities.

Despite many highly specific and sensitive laser-based spectroscopic systems available on the market, the universal optical gas leak detector is still unattainable. In this paper we demonstrate the laser gas sensing setup capable of indirect detection of virtually any gas leaks using differential optical dispersion spectroscopy of oxygen near 761 nm.

New approaches to achieve facile and reversible dihydrogen activation are of importance for synthesis, catalysis, and hydrogen storage. Here we show that low-coordinate magnesium oxide complexes [{(nacnac)Mg}(μ-O)] , with nacnac = HC(RCNDip), Dip = 2,6-PrCH, R = Me (), Et (), Pr (), readily react with dihydrogen under mild conditions to afford mixed hydride-hydroxide complexes [{(nacnac)Mg}(μ-H)(μ-OH)] . Dehydrogenation of complexes is strongly dependent on remote ligand substitution and can be achieved by simple vacuum-degassing of (R = Pr) to regain .
