Abstract
In pursuit of global carbon neutrality, countries are intensifying their efforts to harness clean energy sources. Hydrogen emerges as a superior alternative to traditional fossil fuels and plays a crucial role in the global energy shift. Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) systems are lauded for their high hydrogen storage capacity, ease of handling, and safe and efficient transportation, positioning them as effective solutions for extensive hydrogen storage and international distribution. Nevertheless, the dehydrogenation of hydrogen-rich LOHCs is slow, requiring high temperatures and substantial energy inputs. Addressing these challenges by reducing energy demands and improving dehydrogenation rates is essential for advancing LOHC technology. This paper comprehensively examines various LOHC systems, focusing on the selection of carriers and dehydrogenation catalysts, and their dehydrogenation efficacy. It also highlights our recent contributions in photocatalytic LOHC and outlines future research directions to enhance LOHC technology.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:61623-61635.

Abstract
In this paper, Pd/C catalysts are synthesized via Ar glow-discharge plasma reduction using activated carbon as the support and Pd(acac)2, Pd(NO3)2, K2PdCl4, and H2PdCl4 as the Pd precursors, and their catalytic performances are investigated by hydrogen production from dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole (H12-NEC). Pd/C-A, prepared from Pd(acac)2, which has the smallest palladium nanoparticles (1.7 nm), the highest dispersion (34%) and no residue of inorganic ions, exhibits the best catalytic activity with a hydrogen release of 5.28 wt.%, which is 2.2 times that of Pd/C-H. The order of the apparent activation energies of the prepared Pd/C catalysts, according to the kinetics of the H12-NEC dehydrogenation reaction, is as follows: Pd/C-A ≈ Pd/C-N < Pd/C-K < Pd/C-H. When Pd(acac)2 with a large ligand acts as a cation Pd precursor, the effect of coulombic attraction to Pd2+ during the plasma reduction process makes it difficult for Pd nanoparticles (NPs) to migrate, which leads to the formation of ultrafine Pd NPs.

Abstract
Our planet urgently needs sustainable solutions to alleviate the anthropogenic global warming and climate change. Homogeneous catalysis has the potential to play a fundamental role in this process, providing novel, efficient, and at the same time eco-friendly routes for both chemicals and energy production. In particular, pincer-type ligation shows promising properties in terms of long-term stability and selectivity, as well as allowing for mild reaction conditions and low catalyst loading. Indeed, pincer complexes have been applied to a plethora of sustainable chemical processes, such as hydrogen release, CO2 capture and conversion, N2 fixation, and biomass valorization for the synthesis of high-value chemicals and fuels. In this work, we show the main advances of the last five years in the use of pincer transition metal complexes in key catalytic processes aiming for a more sustainable chemical and energy production.

Abstract
Hydrogen energy is considered to be a desired energy storage carrier because of its high-energy density, extensive sources, and is environmentally friendly. The development of hydrogen storage material, especially liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC), has drawn intensive attention to address the problem of hydrogen utilization. Hydrogen carrier is a material that can reversibly absorb and release hydrogen using catalysts at elevated temperature, in which LOHC mainly relies on the covalent bonding of hydrogen during storage to facilitate long-distance transportation and treatment. In this review, the chemical properties and state-of-the-art of LOHCs were investigated and discussed. It reviews the latest research progress with regard to liquid organic hydrogen storage materials, namely N-ethylcarbazole, and the recent progress in the preparation of efficient catalysts for N-ethylcarbazole dehydrogenation by using metal multiphase catalysts supported by carbon–nitrogen materials is expounded. Several approaches have been considered to obtain efficient catalysts such as increasing the surface area of the support, optimizing particle size, and enhancing the porous structure of the support. This review provides a new direction for the research of hydrogen storage materials and considerations for follow-up research.

Abstract
In the recent era, hydrogen has gained immense consideration as a clean-energy carrier. Its storage is, however, still the main hurdle in the implementation of a hydrogen-based clean economy. Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) are a potential option for hydrogen storage in ambient conditions, and can contribute to the clean-fuel concept in the future. In the present work, a parametric and simulation study was carried out for the storage and release of hydrogen for the methylcyclohexane toluene system. In particular, the methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction is investigated over six potential catalysts for the temperature range of 300–450 °C and a pressure range of 1–3 bar to select the best catalyst under optimum operating conditions. Moreover, the effects of hydrogen addition in the feed mixture, and byproduct yield, are also studied as functions of operating conditions. The best catalyst selected for the process is 1 wt. % Pt/γ-Al2O3. The optimum operating conditions selected for the dehydrogenation process are 360 °C and 1.8 bar. Hydrogen addition in the feed reduces the percentage of methylcyclohexane conversion but is required to enhance the catalyst’s stability. Aspen HYSYS v. 9.0 (AspenTech, Lahore, Pakistan) has been used to carry out the simulation study.

Abstract
Adsorption of Pd(NH3)42+ in preformed chitosan–graphene oxide (CS-GO) beads and their subsequent reduction with NaBH4 afford well-dispersed, high dispersion (~21%) of uniformly sized Pd nanoparticles (~1.7 nm). The resulting Pd/CS-GO exhibits interesting catalytic activity for hydrogen generation by ammonium formate decomposition. The optimal GO proportion of 7 wt% allows reaching, at 60 °C, a turnover frequency above 2200 h−1—being outstanding among the highest values reported for this process to date. Interestingly, no formation of CO or CH4 was detected. The catalyst did not leach, although it underwent gradual deactivation, probably caused by the increase in the Pd average size that became over 3 nm after three uses. Our results are relevant in the context of efficient on-board hydrogen generation from liquid organic hydrogen carriers in transportation.

Abstract
While thermolysis of ammonia-borane (AB) affords a mixture of aminoborane- and iminoborane oligomers, the most selective metal-based catalysts afford exclusively cyclic iminoborane trimer (borazine) and its B-N cross-linked oligomers (polyborazylene). This catalysed dehydrogenation sequence proceeds through a branched cyclic aminoborane oligomer assigned previously as trimeric B-(cyclodiborazanyl)amine-borane (BCDB). Herein we utilize multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography to show instead that this key intermediate is actually tetrameric B-(cyclotriborazanyl)amine-borane (BCTB) and a method is presented for its selective synthesis from AB. The reactivity of BCTB upon thermal treatment as well as catalytic dehydrogenation is studied and discussed with regard to facilitating the second dehydrogenation step in AB dehydrocoupling.
