ABSTRACT = {Hydrogen is recognized as a promising energy scours in the close
future. Online hydrogen preparation from formic acid under mild reaction conditions causes extensive interests. Mo<sub>2</sub>C and metal (Fe, Ni, Co, K) doped Mo<sub>2</sub>C on
granular activated carbon (GAC) were prepared and used as heterogeneous catalysts for H<sub>2</sub> generation from formic acid on a fixed bed reactor at 100–250°C. The
formic acid conversions on doped Mo<sub>2</sub>C-Me/GAC are clearly improved, especially at lower reaction temperatures. Co doping presents outstanding effect on
H<sub>2</sub> selectivity and conversion rate compared to Ni and Fe. A 56.3% formic acid
conversion was reached on Mo<sub>2</sub>C-Co/GAC at 100°C, which triples that on Mo<sub>2</sub>C/
GAC at the same temperature. At 150°C, a high formic acid conversion over 90%
was reached on Mo<sub>2</sub>C-Co/GAC. These long lifetime catalysts with no precious
metal provide a low cost route to hydrogen production from formic acid.},
