Graphic exergy analysis for methanol synthesis. Part 1. Evaluation of steam reforming process system.

Pd/Ga2O3 methanol steam reforming catalysts: Part II: Catalytic selectivity

Structure, morphology and composition of two Pd/Ga2O3 methanol steam reforming catalysts were correlated with the associated activity and selectivity changes in the methanol steam reforming reaction and linked to studies on pure Ga2O3 supports. For both systems, that are, a Pd/Ga2O3 thin film model catalyst and a powder-supported Pd catalyst, we identified a temperature range in which the reduc...

ZnO Nanowire-supported Ag Catalyst for Methanol Steam Reforming

Alternative energy sources, such as various fuel cell technologies, have attracted intense attention due to their high efficiency and low emissions of pollutants. Methanol, with its high hydrogen/carbon ratio, low sulfur content and the absence of carbon–carbon bonds, has been identified as a highly suitable source for onboard production of hydrogen [1]. Among several reactions for converting m...

Performance Evaluation of Cu-SiO2 Aerogel Catalyst in Methanol Steam Reforming

Effect of Pt on Zn-Free Cu-Al Catalysts for Methanol Steam Reforming to Produce Hydrogen

Steam reforming of methanol can be considered as an attractive reaction aiming at hydrogen production for PEM fuel cells. Although Cu/Al-contained catalysts are considerably evaluated in this reaction, further evaluation is essential to evaluate the impact of some promoters like Pt in order to find a comprehensively optimized catalyst. Pt promoter is employed with different methods in this ...

Pd/Ga2O3 methanol steam reforming catalysts: Part I: Morphology, composition and structural aspects

The combination of (High-resolution) electron microscopy, Selected Area Diffraction and X-ray Diffraction was applied to study the structural, compositional and morphological alterations of two Pd/Ga2O3 catalysts relevant for methanol steam reforming upon different oxidative and reductive treatments. These systems include well-defined Pd particles grown epitaxially on vacuum-cleaved NaCl(001) s...
