such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol. This is because with larger alcohol substrates, a
more organic synthetic and preparative applicability is the main focus.
Moreover, particularly full methanol AAD corresponding to aqueous-phase methanol
reforming currently enjoys much attention due to its possible use in renewable energy stor-
age. Hence, since 2013, several interesting systems have been developed for this specific reac-
tion, and many important insights have been disclosed. This sets the stage for taking this
chemistry even further to the next level towards industrial applicability.
However, there is still lacking much research into the more subtle mechanism(s) and factors
that are decisive for system efficiency and longevity. Furthermore, to date there has not been
developed a reversible system for methanol AAD and CO2 hydrogenation, which is impera-
tive to achieve in order to reach a level ready for application. In addition, even more active
systems are required. At best, these systems should work without any sacrificial additives to
afford more economically viable reactions.
