Nickel–molybdenum catalysts for combined solid oxide fuel cell internal steam and dry reforming

Abstract A series of supported Ni-Mo catalysts were synthesised through a deposition-co-precipitation method (DcP) and investigated in combined steam dry reforming. The prepared by Yttria-Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ), Gadolinium-Doped Ceria (GDC) Stabilised (CSZ) with improved carbon tolerance have the potential to be used as anodes Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). These will applied anode supporting layer where most internal reforming reaction takes place. compared conventional catalysts, Al2O3 TiO2 supports are typical for catalysts. catalytic performance according support materials was observed sequence Al2O3 > YSZ > TiO2 > CSZ > GDC. Formation Mo2C activity towards reaction. Increasing Mo loading Ni catalyst coke resistance properties; however, it reduced activity.
