Development of technologies using hydrogen as an energy carrier instead of fossil fuels is strongly required today. Especially, new, reversible, sustainable hydrogen storage technologies have received increasing attention. Formic acid (FA) and methanol (CH₃OH) are considered as effective liquid chemicals for hydrogen storage as being easier to handle than solid or gas materials. This review summarizes the recent progress of research on the development of homogeneous catalysts mainly focusing on FA and CH₃OH and the reports on the complexes based on both precious and non-precious metals which are rapidly increasing in the past few years.

甲酸和甲醇中可逆均相催化氢存储的最新进展

如今，迫切需要开发使用氢作为能源载体而不是化石燃料的技术。尤其是，新的，可逆的，可持续的储氢技术受到越来越多的关注。甲酸（FA）和甲醇（CH ₃ OH）被认为是用于储氢的有效液体化学品，因为它比固体或气体材料更易于处理。综述了近年来以FA和CH ₃ OH为主要成分的均相催化剂研究的最新进展，以及基于贵金属和非贵金属的配合物的研究报告，这些研究在过去几年中迅速增长。
