    Abstract:

    Hydrogen is an attractive energy vector for future renewable energy systems [1]. Using novel Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) systems, hydrogen can be chemically bound/released through catalytic hydro-genation/dehydrogenation, and thus be stored and transported efficiently under ambient conditions [2]. This simplifies handling and enables transport and storage using already existing infrastructure for liquid fuels, resulting in reduced investment cost for implementation [3]. However, due to high dehydrogenation enthalpies, reactions are often performed above 300 °C, which possess a challenge for heat integration with state-of-the-art PEM fuels for clean energy production [4].
    In this work, reversible catalytic hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of N-functionalized heterocycles are demonstrated as efficient LOHC systems operating as low as 120 °C. Catalytic dehydrogenation with a homogeneous hydrogenation iridium catalyst in biphasic reaction mode using a molten salt as catalyst immobilization phase has been investigated. This approach facilitated easy catalyst separation and required only a small amount of catalyst phase to store large amounts of hydrogen, which is beneficial for future large-scale continuous hydrogen storage and release.
