Dehydrogenation Reactions of O-Heterocyclic LOHC Molecules — •Felix Hemauer, Philipp Bachmann, Fabian Düll, Johann Steinhauer, Hans-Peter Steinrück, and Christian Papp — Friedrich-Alexander-Universität, Erlangen, Germany

With the dwindling of fossil fuels and the alarming progression of global warming, the ecological and social demand for cleaner and more sustainable energy sources has never been as high. As renewable sources, such as wind and solar power, give no continuous and constant power output, hydrogen is a promising candidate for the chemical storage of energy. The concept of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) avoids unfavorable handling of elemental hydrogen.

Heterocyclic LOHC molecules display advantageous thermodynamic properties regarding their heat of dehydrogenation. Consequently, several N-heterocycles have been successfully investigated, e.g. the indole-based systems and their derivatives.

In order to investigate the feasibility of O-heterocyclic compounds as possible LOHCs, synchrotron radiation-based high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption measurements of furan and benzofuran were performed on Pt(111) under UHV conditions. By applying heating ramps after the adsorption experiment, the respective dehydrogenation and decomposition reactions are monitored via evaluation of the characteristic spectra. This allows for fundamental insights into the reactivity and stability and helps assessing the viability of the compound class as LOHC.
