Abstract
Green hydrogen plays a crucial role in decarbonization and the future of low-carbon society. Still, its transport/distribution and cost of production, mainly realized by electrolysis, are major hurdles. Liquid H2 carriers reduce transport/distribution costs but add further expenses for their production. To address this challenge, we proposed a novel strategy for electrocatalytic production of a liquid organic hydrogen carrier with anodic valorization of the process. This review summarizes the state of the art and outlooks in this new concept. The electrocatalytic process is briefly introduced, and the main components are discussed. Subsequently, the electrocatalytic production of liquid organic hydrogen carriers and anodic oxidation from components to processes, together with the paired processes and reactors, are analyzed, highlighting challenges and prospects.
