Searching for applicable hydrogen storage materials is impendent owing to the diversified merits of hydrogen energy on account of the challenges of sufficient and sustainable energy supply on demand. Based on the high hydrogen capacities and ease to handle, liquid-phase chemical hydrides such as aqueous ammonia borane, hydrous hydrazine and formic acid have been investigated as promising hydrogen storage materials.1-4In this talk, recent research progresses in catalytic activation of the liquid-phase chemical hydrides for hydrogen generation will be reviewed.Acknowledgment This author acknowledges financial support from METI.References 1.
