Popis: | The liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) 2-(N-methylbenzyl)pyridine (MBP) shows good potential for H2 storage based on reversible hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, with an H2 storage density of 6.15 wt %. This material and the corresponding perhydro product (H12 -MBP) are liquids at room temperature. Remarkably, H2 release is much faster from H12 -MBP over Pd/C than from the benchmark perhydro benzyltoluene over Pt/C at lower temperatures than 270 °C, owing to the addition of N atom into the benzene ring. Since this positive effect is unfavorable to the hydrogenation reaction, more Ru/Al2 O3 catalyst or prolonged reaction time must be applied for complete H2 storage. Experiments with repeated hydrogenation-dehydrogenation cycles reveal that reversible H2 storage and release are possible without degradation of the MBP/H12 -MBP pair. The prepared MBP satisfies the requirements for chemical stability, handling properties, and cytotoxicity testing. |
