Pd-MnOx nanoparticles dispersed on amine-grafted silica: Highly efficient nanocatalyst for hydrogen production from additive-free dehydrogenation of formic acid under mild conditions

- For the first time, Pd-MnOx/SiO2-NH2 catalyst was synthesized and characterized.
- For the first time, Pd-MnOx/SiO2-NH2 catalyst was used in FA dehydrogenation.
- Pd-MnOx/SiO2-NH2 catalyst provides record activity (TOF = 1300 h−1 at 50 °C) in FA dehydrogenation.
