Abstract:
Concerns about the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and environmental pollution make hydrogen an attractive alternative energy source. Here, we first describe a catalytic reaction system that produces H2 from glucose using a homogeneous catalyst [(p-cymene)Ru(NH3)]Cl2 with the maximum TOF = 719 h-1 at 98 °C and an initial pH = 0.5.
