“…A prospective alternative approach is to store hydrogen in chemical platform compounds such as formic acid, [10,11] ammonia borane, [12] hydrous hydrazine, [13] sodium-borohydride, [14] and other liquid-phase chemical storage materials. [15,16] Among them, formic acid (FA, HCOOH), which is one of the primary stable by-products of biomass processing techniques such as fermentation, pyrolysis, and supercritical conversion and comprises 4.4 wt% hydrogen, has been widely proposed as a potential hydrogen carrier for its advantages such as high energy density, excellent stability, hydrogen storage in liquid form, and non-toxicity. [17,18] In addition, FA, which can be regenerated through the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), offers an efficient means of carbon-neutral H 2 storage.…”
