Autothermal reforming and water–gas shift double bed reactor for H2 production from ethanol

Electrochemical reforming of alcohols on nanostructured platinum-tin catalyst-electrodes

“…However, this process required several reaction steps, such as reforming, water gas-shift and preferential oxidation (PROX) or methanation, in order to clean the reformer gas stream from CO before entering the fuel cell. Therefore, due to its practical use, especially for on-site applications, more efficient and compact processes for hydrogen production should be considered [2]. Electrolysis of water can generate highly pure hydrogen, in a fast single step process, and hence it can be considered as the most promising technology for small scale H 2 production [3].…”

A novel sputtered Pd mesh architecture as an advanced electrocatalyst for highly efficient hydrogen production

“…However, this pathway produces other carbonderived products such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, together with hydrogen, which requires several reaction and purification steps in order to clean the reformer gas stream before entering the fuel cell. In this sense, there is a growing interest in developing effective alternatives to produce hydrogen, especially for on-site applications by more simple and compact production processes [2]. In this sense, the electrolysis process has gained much attention due to the production of pure hydrogen at high rates in a single reaction step.…”

Advances in ethanol autothermal reforming

“…S H2 decreases with increase in loading of Ni. An increase in the reaction temperature and a decrease in Ni particle size favored the yield to H 2 [76] devised an annular cylindrical reformer to form a fourfold circular tube structure. The oxidation takes place inside the inner tubes, while the heat is conducted to the outer tube for the SR reaction.…”
