The present study investigates a process for the selective production of hydrogen from the catalytic decomposition of formic acid in the presence of iridium and iridium–palladium nanoparticles under various conditions. It was found that a loading of 1 wt.% of 2% palladium in the presence of 1% iridium over activated charcoal led to a 43% conversion of formic acid to hydrogen at room temperature after 4 h. Increasing the temperature to 60 °C led to further decomposition and an improvement in conversion yield to 63%. Dilution of formic acid from 0.5 to 0.2 M improved the decomposition, reaching conversion to 81%. The reported process could potentially be used in commercial applications.

The effect of heat treatment of manganese oxide/alumina catalysts of various manganese content on the structural and textural properties and the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide were investigated. The FT-IR results have shown that depending on the calcination temperature and metal loading MnO2 and MnO3 are formed on the investigated samples. No spinel structure was detected under the experimental conditions. The surface areas were found to decrease with increasing calcination temperature and metal content up to 30 wt.% Mn. The mean pore radius increased with both calcination temperature and Mn content. The rate of catalytic decomposition of H2O2 was found to depend on the pH, the calcination temperature and the state of Mn on the catalyst surface.
