An Efficient CoAuPd/C Catalyst for Hydrogen Generation from Formic Acid at Room Temperature

which greatly hinders their large-scale practical applicationsbecause of their high costs and low reserves in the earthscrust.Thefirst-rowtransitionmetals(FRTM)innanoscale,suchas cobalt (Co) nanoparticles (NPs), have been widely inves-tigated as the catalytic materials in many important reactionsbecause of their potential activities and relatively low costs.
