Autothermal LOHC-Dehydrogenation

Autothermal dehydrogenation represents a cutting-edge approach in the field of chemical hydrogen storage using Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs). The aim of the research group is to develop active, selective and robust heterogeneous catalysts that ensure excellent recyclability of LOHCs.

The focal point of the research is on the dehydrogenation reaction of LOHCs, where the researchers seek to couple the endothermic dehydrogenation process with suitable exothermic reactions to optimize the overall energy efficiency of the chemical hydrogen storage.
