TL;DR: The options developed over the past two decades for the conversion of methane into valuable chemicals and fuels while avoiding the high energy requirements of the steam reforming process for producing H2/CO mixtures are briefly examined in this paper.

TL;DR: The main efforts focused on the improvement of conventional Cu/ZnO based catalysts and the development of new catalytic systems targeting the specific needs for CO2 to methanol reactions (unfavourable thermodynamics, production of high amount of water and high meethanol selectivity under high or full CO2 conversion).

TL;DR: In this article, aqueous solution containing SO 3 2 /S 2 as sacrificial reagents under visible light irradiation was investigated in the production of hydrogen, and the hydrogen production rate was found to increase gradually when the Zn concentration on photocatalysts increases from 0.2 to 0.3.

TL;DR: In this article, Ni/Mayenite and Ce/Ni/mayenite catalysts were synthesized, characterized and tested in the steam reforming of tar model compounds and the catalytic tests were carried out under different operating parameters (temperature, space velocity and nature of tar compounds) and in the presence of sulphur, and the used samples were characterized to identify the reasons of deactivation.

TL;DR: An overview of the research progress on hydrogen production from logistic hydrocarbons can be found in this paper, where the challenges for catalysts applied to the reforming of logistic fuels are discussed in detail to reveal the specific needs for each of the main reforming processes used with such fuels.
