The use of formic acid as a hydrogen‐storage material has become more feasible thanks to the development of a homogeneous catalytic system of ruthenium water‐soluble complexes (Ru/TPPTS; TPPTS= meta ‐trisulfonated triphenylphosphine) that selectively decomposes HCOOH into H 2 and CO 2 . Continuous generation of H 2 of very high purity, over a wide range of pressures, and under mild conditions was achieved.
