Catalyst for formic acid decomposition, formic acid decomposition method, hydrogen production method, formic acid production and decomposition apparatus, hydrogen storage and generation method

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst for decomposing formic acid, which has high activity and is used for providing hydrogen (HSB2/SB) safely, efficiently and at a low cost. PSOLUTION: The catalyst for decomposing formic acid contains a mononuclear rhodium complex, which has a ligand consisting of substituted cyclopentadiene and another ligand consisting of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, its tautomer or stereoisomer or their salts. When the catalyst for decomposing formic acid is used, hydrogen can be generated (produced) repeatedly from formic acid in extremely high efficiency. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
