Sustainable production of hydrogen with high purity from methanol and water at low temperatures

S. Zhang, Y. Liu, et al.

Discover how Pt single-atoms and frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) on porous CeO₂ nanorods achieve efficient, additive-free H₂ generation at low CO levels through aqueous-phase reforming of methanol. This innovative research conducted by Sai Zhang, Yuxuan Liu, Mingkai Zhang, Yuanyuan Ma, Jun Hu, and Yongquan Qu paves the way for flexible hydrogen utilization.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates that dual-active sites of Pt single-atoms and frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) on porous nanorods of CeO₂ enable efficient, additive-free H₂ generation with low CO (0.027%) through aqueous-phase reforming of methanol (APRM) at 120 °C. Pt single-atoms and Lewis acidic sites cooperatively activate methanol, while spontaneous water dissociation on FLPs improves CO reforming, boosting H₂ production and suppressing CO generation. This offers a promising path for flexible hydrogen utilization.
