Coal resources are one of the key energy sources and essential for modern economic development. Despite the traditional coal industries having made considerable contributions to chemical production and energy storage, the accompanying environmental pollution and high energy consumption have also arisen that cause significant influence of the ecological balance. Hence, there is an urgent need to exploit feasible approaches to the sustainable utilization of coal resources. This review begins with a comprehensive summary of the representative coal chemistry technologies with critical discussions. Subsequently, a novel strategy coupled with green hydrogen is discussed for sustainable conversion of coal and highly efficient manufacture of downstream products. Moreover, the unique role of coal in terms of high-value-added carbon material production is highlighted as a low-cost resource for distinct applications. Finally, we propose several future directions for advanced coal chemistry development.

“…Although photoproduction of hydrogen in the biosystem is environmentally friendly and can be undertaken by partial activation of photosystem II in Chlamydomonas spp., it is not economically feasible because it is inefficient for development at the industrial level. When discussing the drawbacks of this mechanism, many physiological factors are taken into consideration, such as hydrogenase O 2 sensitivity, competition with other metabolic pathways, downregulation of electron transport by non-dissipation of a proton gradient, and performance under non-saturating illumination [30].…”

Carbon constraints, as well as the growing hazard of greenhouse gas emissions, have accelerated research into all possible renewable energy and fuel sources. Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs), a novel technology able to convert soluble organic matter into energy such as hydrogen gas, represent the most recent breakthrough. While research into energy recovery from wastewater using microbial electrolysis cells is fascinating and a carbon-neutral technology that is still mostly limited to lab-scale applications, much more work on improving the function of microbial electrolysis cells would be required to expand their use in many of these applications. The present limiting issues for effective scaling up of the manufacturing process include the high manufacturing costs of microbial electrolysis cells, their high internal resistance and methanogenesis, and membrane/cathode biofouling. This paper examines the evolution of microbial electrolysis cell technology in terms of hydrogen yield, operational aspects that impact total hydrogen output in optimization studies, and important information on the efficiency of the processes. Moreover, life-cycle assessment of MEC technology in comparison to other technologies has been discussed. According to the results, MEC is at technology readiness level (TRL) 5, which means that it is ready for industrial development, and, according to the techno-economics, it may be commercialized soon due to its carbon-neutral qualities.

“…The most common method of producing hydrogen is steam reforming [4][5][6][7][8], followed by decomposition [9][10][11] and coal gasification [12,13]. Biohydrogen can be produced through water biophotolysis [14,15], dark anaerobic fermentation [16,17], photo-fermentation [18,19], and the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) using carbon monoxide [2,20]. Advanced techniques such as pyrolysis [21,22] and gasification [23][24][25][26] can also be used to make biohydrogen from renewable materials.…”

The high demand for hydrogen has led to the development of various production methods. This study examines the use of synthetic and natural catalysts in the generation of hydrogen and biohydrogen. A bibliographic analysis was conducted using the VOSviewer and ScientoPy tools. The research focuses on hydrogen synthesis, purification, separation, and storage, based on the findings. Hydrogen and biohydrogen can be produced through processes such as reforming, decomposition, hydrolysis, gasification, photolysis, and fermentation. The most studied approach is natural gas steam reforming, using Ni and Ce as catalysts and Al 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 4 , and BaTiO 3 as support materials, resulting in a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 2880 h −1 and an average stability of 100 h. In contrast, ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis with Pt/Co 3 O 4 catalysts may achieve a high TOF of 15 times faster than steam methane reforming (SMR). Additionally, HY-zeolite containing nickel has a maximum stability of 578 h. Enhancing hydrogen and biohydrogen generation could be achieved by incorporating two or more metals that work synergistically and by building hierarchical structures in zeolite. In photocatalysis, it is important to design catalysts that improve light absorption. Using activated natural zeolites in the gasification process (conventional, supercritical, or hydrothermal) requires various raw materials and advanced chemical processes, which poses challenges for future work.
