Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

Hydrogen is considered as a fuel for the future. Catalytic approaches to producing hydrogen involve dehydrogenation, gasification, water–gas shift, as well as steam and dry reforming reactions. Recent studies consider the utilization of new sources of hydrogen like biomass, as well as liquid organic and solid hydrogen carriers. Photo- and electrocatalytic methods for hydrogen production become important. Hydrogen is also intensively used for the synthesis of chemicals from biomass using catalysts. Active, selective, and stable catalysts are needed for all these processes.

The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss the field of catalytic hydrogen production and application for the synthesis of valuable chemicals from biomass. The topics of the development of efficient homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts, reaction mechanisms and kinetics, and reactor systems engineering could be discussed in this Issue. We invite researchers to submit their theoretical and experimental original results.

This study was devoted to the processing of vacuum residue to produce lighter oil fractions, such as gasoline and diesel fuel. The hydrocracking and catalytic hydrocracking of vacuum residue in the presence of formic acid (FA) were performed in the temperature range of 250–550 °C. Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were used as catalytic additives. In contrast to conventional hydrocracking, an important stage in the catalytic hydrocracking of vacuum residue is the decomposition of formic acid. Experimental studies on the effect of CNFs on the decomposition of FA demonstrated that CNFs pre-treated in a NaOH solution (CNF (NaOH)s) had the highest activity and selectivity for the production of H2 and CO2. The maximum yield of liquid products in the catalytic hydrocracking process, equal to 34 wt.%, was observed at 300 °C in the presence of CNF (NaOH)s. The characterization of the fractional compositions of the liquid products showed that the ratios of the fractions changed with an increase in the reaction temperature. The maximum concentrations of the light fractions (gasoline and diesel) in the liquid products of the catalytic hydrocracking of vacuum residue were observed at 300–350 °C in the presence of CNF (NaOH)s.

The present review revisits representative studies addressing the development of efficient Pd-based carbon-supported heterogeneous catalysts for two important reactions, namely, the production of hydrogen from formic acid and the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into formic acid. The HCOOH-CO2 system is considered a promising couple for a hydrogen storage system involving an ideal carbon-neutral cycle. Significant advancements have been achieved in the catalysts designed to catalyze the dehydrogenation of formic acid under mild reaction conditions, while much effort is still needed to catalyze the challenging CO2 hydrogenation reaction. The design of Pd-based carbon-supported heterogeneous catalysts for these reactions encompasses both the modulation of the properties of the active phase (particle size, composition, and electronic properties) and the modification of the supports by means of the incorporation of nitrogen functional groups. These approaches are herein summarized to provide a compilation of the strategies followed in recent studies and to set the basis for a hydrogen storage system attained using the HCOOH-CO2 couple.
