Abstract
New strategies for the reforming of methanol under mild conditions on the basis of heterogeneous and molecular catalysts have raised the hopes and expectations on this fuel. This contribution will focus on the progress achieved in the production of hydrogen from aqueous and anhydrous methanol with molecular and heterogeneous catalysts. The report entails thermal approaches, as well as light-triggered dehydrogenation reactions. A comparison of the efficiency and mechanistic aspects will be made and principles of catalytic pathways operating in biological systems will be also addressed.
