Abstract
advanced techniques and their disadvantages. Beyond this, particular focus has been placed on the discussion of co-driven processes involving coupling of photons (photocatalysis) with phonons (thermal catalysis) - the concept of photon-phonon co-driven catalysis - for methanol reforming and cutting-edge reactor design strategies, in order to enhance the overall process efficiency and applicability. Concluding with forward-looking insights, this review aims to provide valuable guidance for future research on hydrogen release through methanol reforming.
