The development of controlled processes for continuous hydrogen generation from solid-state storage chemicals such as ammonia borane is central to integrating renewable into a clean energy mix. However, date, most reported platforms operate in batch mode, posing challenge controllable release, catalyst reusability, and large-scale operation. To address these issues, we developed flow-through wood-based catalytic microreactors, characterized by inherent natural oriented microchannels. prepared structured catalysts utilize silver-promoted palladium nanoparticles supported on metal-organic framework (MOF)-coated wood microreactors the active phase. Catalytic tests demonstrate their highly production adjusting flow species, reach stable productivities up 10.4 cmH23 min-1 cmcat-3. modular design proves readily scalable. Our versatile approach applicable other metals MOF combinations, thus comprising sustainable scalable platform dehydrogenations applications energy-water nexus.
