PHOSPHINE-OXIDE CATALYZED PROCESS OF PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM SILYLATED DERIVATIVES AS HYDROGEN CARRIER

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen comprising the steps of: i) contacting a compound (C) comprising one or more groups Si-H with a phosphorous based catalyst in the presence of a base in water as solvent, thereby forming hydrogen and a by-product (C1); wherein said phosphorous based catalyst is as defined in claim 1; and ii) recovering the obtained hydrogen.
