Catalyst For Hydrogen Generation From Small Organic Molecules

Summary

A Catalyst For The Generation Of Hydrogen From A Small Organic Molecule Comprises A Tertiary Metal Composition Where: The First Metal Is Either Pt Or Ru; The Second Metal Is At Least One Of Pt, Ru, Au, Pd, Rh, Ir, Os, And/Or Re; And Bi, Primarily Present In The Form Of An Oxide Or Of A Mixture Of Oxides And Carbonates And In The +3 Oxidation State. A Portion Of The First And/Or Second Metal May Be In The Form Of An Oxide. The Catalyst Can Be In The Form Of A Nanoparticle And Supported On An Inert Substrate, Such As Carbon. The Catalyst Can Be Used For Dehydrogenation Of Formic Acid Or Other Small Organic Molecules In A Liquid State At Ambient Pressures And At Temperatures Below The Boiling Point Of The Liquid. The Liquid Can Be An Aqueous Solution Of The Small Organic Molecule.
