Abstract

Aqueous glycerol was used in this study as a liquid-phase hydrogen source for the hydrogenation of CO₂. It was found that hydrogen could be efficiently evolved from aqueous glycerol upon highly dispersed Ru on layered double hydroxide (LDH), inducing the transformation of CO₂ into formaldehyde under base-free conditions at low temperature.
