(Phys.org)—A team of German and Italian chemists working at the University of Rostock has discovered a way to extract hydrogen from methanol at low temperatures and ambient pressure using a common catalyst. As they report in their paper published in the journal Nature, the team was able to use a ruthenium-based catalyst to extract hydrogen molecules from methanol without having to exert high temperatures or added pressure.
