Efficient Hydrogen Production from Formic Acid Using a Benzothiazole-based Ru(II)–PN³ Pincer Complex
The transition from fossil fuels toward clean and sustainable energy technologies has become a global priority and a key strategic goal for Saudi Arabia. This project investigates a benzothiazole-based Ru(II)–PN³ pincer catalyst, synthesized and characterized for selective dehydrogenation of formic acid. As a liquid organic hydrogen carrier, formic acid offers a promising route for the safe storage, transportation, and release of hydrogen, with potential applications in fuel-cell-powered transportation and sustainable energy systems.
