The term LOHC stands for Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers. The term has been so well accepted by the scientific community that the studies published before the existence of this name are not very visible. In this mini-review, we have tried to rehabilitate various studies that deserve to be put back in the spotlight in the present context. Studies indeed began in the early 1980s and many publications have compared the use of various organic carriers, various catalysts and reactors. Recent reviews also include the economic aspects of this concept.
