Laser-Induced Methanol Decomposition for Ultrafast Hydrogen Production.

ABSTRACT: Methanol (CH₃OH) is a liquid hydrogen (H₂) source that effectively releases H₂ and is convenient for transportation. Traditional thermocatalytic CH₃OH reforming reaction is used to produce H₂, but this process needs to undergo high reaction temperature (e.g., 200 °C) along with a catalyst and a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission. Although photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis under mild conditions are proposed to replace the traditional thermal catalysis to produce H₂ from CH₃OH, they still inevitably produce CO₂ emissions that are detrimental to carbon neutrality. Here, we, for the first time, report an ultrafast and highly selective production of H₂ without any cat
