ABSTRACT
Developing an efficient catalyst for formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation is a promising strategy for safe hydrogen storage and transportation. Herein, we successfully developed trimetallic NiAuPd heterogeneous catalysts through a galvanic replacement reaction and a subsequent chemical reduction process to boost hydrogen generation from FA decomposition at room temperature by coupling Fermi level engineering with plasmonic effect. We demonstrated that Ni worked as an electron reservoir to donate electrons to Au and Pd driven by Fermi level equilibrium whereas plasmonic Au served as an optical absorber to generate energetic hot electrons and a charge-redistribution mediator. Ni and Au worked cooperatively to promote the charge heterogeneity of surface-active Pd sites, leading to enhanced chemisorption of formate-related intermediates and eventually outstanding activity (342â
mmol g-1 h-1 ) compared with bimetallic counterpart. This work offers excellent insight into the rational design of efficient catalysts for practical hydrogen energy exploitation.
