제목 Formic Acid Decomposition from Pd2+ complexes : Plausible Pathways for C-H Activation of Formate
초록 Hydrogen has long been recognized as a clean and sustainable energy carrier because it only generates water as a byproduct after it is utilized as a fuel in a fuel cell. Although it contains high gravimetric energy density of 142 MJ/kg, its low volumetric energy density (10.7 kJ/L) limits its application. Formic acid (HCOOH, FA) has been regarded as a promising hydrogen storage material with its high volumetric hydrogen storage capacity of 53g-H2/L.
In this work, we present our study that FA decomposes to generate CO2 and H2 in the presence of aqueous Pd2+ complex solutions at 333 K. Pd2+ complexes were reduced to Pd0 species during the reaction. Since C-H activation of Pd2+-bound formate is occurred for both Pd2+ reduction and H2/CO2 gas generation, FA decomposition pathways with several Pd2+ species were explored using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Rotation of formate bound to Pd2+, β-hydride elimination, and subsequent CO2 and H2 elimination by formic acid were examined. In addition, pathways for Pd2+ reduction to Pd0 were explored computationally.
