A ketone/alcohol polymer for cycle of electrolytic hydrogen-fixing with water and releasing under mild conditions

Using hydrogen efficiently requires safe carriers and reversible storage. Here, Nishide and others develop a ketone based polymer that can fix hydrogen by electrolytic hydrogenation in water and reversibly release it via heating and the use of an iridium catalyst.
