Electrocatalytic Hydrogenation of Toluene Using a Proton Exchange Membrane Reactor: Influence of Catalyst Materials on Product Selectivity

We have investigated the electrochemical hydrogenation of toluene using a PEM reactor for development of an organic chemical hydride system. Especially, the influence of catalyst materials such as Pt, Ru, and PtRu for a PEM reactor on the by-product formation and product selectivity in the hydrogenation of toluene was investigated.
