• exhibit a highest carbon dioxide uptake (up to 15.0 wt % (273 K) and 8.8 wt % (298 K) at 1.0 bar), and possess moderate hydrogen storage capacities ranging from 1.28 to 1.04 wt % (77 K) at 1.0 bar. Moreover, the highest uptake of methane for the PPOPs is measured as 4.3 wt % (273 K) at 1.0 bar. Keywords

• uptake capacities for carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane of the polymers are investigated by gravimetric methods and listed in Table 2. The hydrogen storage capacities for PPOPs vary between 1.08 and 1.28 wt % at 77 K and 1.0 bar (Figure 4a) and PPOP-3 possesses the highest hydrogen uptake, which may

The significance of biocatalytic systems for the production of formate with reducing equivalents from H2 extends beyond the generation of a platform chemical. Formate has also been targeted as a form of chemical

• combination of biological systems for centralised hydrogen storage through CO2 reduction as formate, with cheap zeolite catalysts for decentralised on demand hydrogen regeneration appears a very promising sustainable approach toward a hydrogen economy (Figure 6).
