2022-055 - Hydrogenating Metal Carbonate to Methanol, Methane, and Metal Hydroxide

Abstract USC researchers have developed a liquid phase process that efficiently converts inorganic metal carbonates into valuable fuels and feedstocks like methanol and methane, using hydrogenation under mild conditions. This method, aided by heterogeneous catalysts, achieves high selectivity and yield. It also generates metal hydroxides, which can...

2023-131 - On-Site Hydrogen Generation via Catalytic Methanol Reforming

Abstract This innovative low-temperature methanol reformer efficiently produces high-purity hydrogen gas, free of emissions, using methanol and alkali hydroxides catalyzed by a Ru-pincer molecule. It generates hydrogen up to pressures of 144 bar, with modifications allowing for up to 450 bar. Its integration with a proton exchange membrane fuel cell...
