Abstract

Efficient hydrogen (H₂) production from renewable resources, such as biomass, one of the largest renewable resources on the earth, instead of fossil resources, is highly desirable. Making it via HCO₂H as an intermediate for H₂ production from biomass both facilitates efficient H₂ production and can avoid the issues of H₂ storage. Herein, we report efficient H₂ production from raw biomass-based formic acid (HCO₂H) by a noble-metal-free catalysis system under mild conditions, enabled by cooperation of CdS/ZnS-S^2- quantum dots photocatalysts with weak formaldehyde (HCHO) adsorption and in situ generated Ni⁰, resulting in H₂ with a 94% yield in 3.5 h, with a 99.7% selectivity and a 537 ± 14 mol mg^-1 h^-1 average rate at 50 °C under visible-light irradiation. This study should promote the exploration of catalytic systems for streamlined H₂ production from renewable biomass for practical application.
