Context: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Tirupati have developed an efficient method for generating hydrogen gas from a mixture of methanol and paraformaldehyde.
- This innovative process, which operates under mild conditions using commercially available nickel catalysts, offers significant potential for advancing the “Hydrogen economy.”
- This method does not require bases or activators and has shown exceptional performance, producing hydrogen effectively used in chemical synthesis.
Supported by ANRF and published in Catalysis Science & Technology, this research highlights the potential of methanol and paraformaldehyde as viable hydrogen carriers, contributing to sustainable and renewable energy solutions.
