Fast hydrogenation kinetics of acridine as a candidate of liquid organic hydrogen carrier family with high capacity

We report a new candidate of LOHCs, acridine, with a high hydrogen content of 7.25 wt%. The hydrogenation process was found to undergo three consecutive stages: acridine → 4H-acridine, 4H-acridine → 8H-acridine, 8H-acridine → 14H-acridine.
