Abstrakt: Aqueous-phase reforming of methanol represents a promising avenue for hydrogen (H2) production. However, developing highly efficient and low-cost nonprecious catalysts remains challenging. Here, we report the synthesis of Cu-based catalysts with Cu, Cu2O, and CuN3nanoparticles anchored on the nitrogen-doped carbon, forming Cu0/Cu+/Cu-N3active sites. This catalyst achieves a H2production rate of 140.1 μmol/gcat/s at 210 °C, which is several times to 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of Cu-, Ni-, even Pt-based catalysts, demonstrating excellent long-term stability over 350 h at 210 °C. A mechanism investigation reveals that the Cu-N3site facilitates water dissociation into *OH and improves *CO and *OH conversion, leading to enhanced CO conversion and H2production kinetics.
