Nanocomposite Catalysts for Steam Reforming of Methane and Biofuels: Design and Performance

Porous substrates for intermediate temperature SOFCs and in-cell reforming catalysts

“…Results of natural gas steam reforming on stacks and contact time hydrogen concentration in the effluent is nearly identical [21]. This agrees with conclusion that the heat and mass transfer does not affect the performance of these structured catalysts, which is rather good providing >45% H 2 in the effluent.…”

“…NiAl foam supported catalysts with the same types of nanocomposite active components were also tested in the biofuel steam and autothermal reforming [14,21]. Some typical dependencies are presented in Figures 18-20.…”

“…Results of studies are described in detail in book chapters [21,22] and papers [13][14][15]23], and a brief summary is given below. foam.…”

“…Direct testing of the fuel cell working in the mode of internal CH 4 steam reforming with developed structured catalysts on Ni-Al foam substrate was carried out in frames of FP6 SOFC 600 Project with partners from ECN (Netherlands) [15,21,22]. to 55% with the current increase from 0 to 4 A.…”

Kinetic assessment of dry reforming of methane on Pt + Ni containing composite of fluorite-like structure

“…To suppress coking that leads to the deterioration of the anode performance at lower temperature, a promising approach is to promote traditional Ni/YSZ cermets by complex oxides with a high oxygen mobility along with small amounts of precious metals (Pt, Pd, Ru). The catalytic properties are strongly affected by the interactions between composite nanoparticles and support [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Precious metal atoms incorporated into the surface layer of Ni particles provide sites for activating fuel molecules while decreasing the carbon nucleation probability, whereas the complex oxides of the support will transfer oxygen species to active sites, hence, preventing the deactivation by coking [16][17][18][19][20].…”
