Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen generation by steam reforming of methanol over copper-based catalysts for fuel cell applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a steam reforming of methanol over various base-metal oxide catalysts was studied in a flow reactor in the temperature interval 180-320°C. The active materials were impregnated on γ-alumina pellets using the wet impregnation method and the promoters used in the investigation were chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), and zirconia (Zr).
Journal ArticleDOI

State of the art of multi-fuel reformers for fuel cell vehicles: problem identification and research needs

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for developing a highly efficient, durable and reliable reformer system for automotive applications is considerably higher if dedicated fuel reformers are used instead of applications where all types of fuels ranging from natural gas to heavy diesel fuels can be used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity and characterization of Cu/Zn, Cu/Cr and Cu/Zr on γ-alumina for methanol reforming for fuel cell vehicles

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of catalyst properties on the activity and selectivity of hydrogen generation by methanol reforming over copper-based catalysts impregnated on γ-alumina pellets has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diesel fuel reformer for automotive fuel cell applications

TL;DR: In this article, an innovative and environmentally-benign hydrogen generation system operating on commercial diesel fuel to avoid running the engine to supply electricity at stand-still is described, where the diesel is being injected through a nozzle creating a spray of fine droplets of a size which can establish rapid evaporation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catalytic combustion of methane over cerium-doped palladium catalysts

TL;DR: Various Pd-supported catalysts have been prepared using three different types of alumina as support material: (a) gamma-alumina, (b) Ba-stabilized alumina, and
