Next to the putative hydrogenase, a formate dehydrogenase subunit (Tph_c18420) is located, suggesting a potential link between formate oxidation und bifurcating hydrogen formation.
Cr on the catalysts activated methanol at low temperatures to form formates, induced basic properties and promoted hydrogen formation.
Strain ZF1 (W3110ΔfocA) was selected because an increased level of cellular formate, combined with the over-expression of formate-metabolizing genes might have a synergistic effect on hydrogen formation.
Surface hydrogen formation from formic acid is the rate-determining step for this hydrogenation reaction.
Electrocatalytic hydrogen formation with this complex is demonstrated.
The monometallic catalyst was more selective toward hydrogen formation.
Based on the reports he was seeing, he said he believed that the explosion was caused by a hydrogen formation, which could have begun inside the reactor core.
The largest chemical effect of dust is to provide the only site of molecular hydrogen formation on grain surfaces.
Hydrogen formation from the reaction is also affected by the flow rate to a certain extent.
Furthermore, it is observed that hydrogen formation is a near zero order reaction.
Also studies with biomass are reported; here in most cases the effect of salts, catalyzing hydrogen formation, is dominating.
