Research on CuO/CeO2-ZrO2/SiC Monolithic Catalysts for Hydrogen Production by 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 ...

Hydrogen production via steam reforming of LPG on Ni/Zeolite catalysts

Steam reforming is one of the most important processes for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels such as LPG and has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and economy. In this study, the LPG steam reforming reaction was investigated on nickel catalysts supported on four various zeolites (H-Y, Na-Y, HZSM5 and Ferrierite). The catalytic tests were performed in a tubular fixed be...

Hydrogen Production by Methanol Steam Reforming on Copper Boosted by Zinc–Assisted Water Activation**

For use of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) in mobile power applications, an efficient source of COdepleted hydrogen is needed. To avoid technical and safety problems of hydrogen handling, storage, and transport, methanol can be used as practical and abundant energy carrier for on-board H2 generation, as it has the advantage of a high energy density. Hydrogen generation from meth...

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...
