Pre-Reduction of Au/Iron Oxide Catalyst for Low-Temperature Water-Gas Shift Reaction Below 150 °C
TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary reduction of Au/Fe3+) catalyst utilizing high reactivity of Au nano-particles was conducted under a CO, H2, or CO/H2O stream at either 140 or 200 °C, and the effect of reduction conditions on the characteristics of the reduced catalysts and on the catalytic activity in WGS at 80 °C was investigated.

Holistic Approach to Design, Test, and Optimize Stand-Alone SOFC-Reformer Systems
Michael Höber,Benjamin Königshofer,Philipp Wachter,Gjorgji Nusev,Pavle Boškoski,Christoph Hochenauer,Vanja Subotić +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a design process for a stand-alone system consisting of a reformer unit and an SOFC-based power generator is presented and tested, and an adequate agreement between the measured and simulated values for the gas compositions after a reformers unit is observed with a maximum error of 3 vol% (volume percent).

Dehydrogenation of ethanol on a 2Ru/ZrO2(111) surface: Density functional computations
Yu Wei Chen,Jia Jen Ho +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied periodic density functional theory to investigate the dehydrogenation of ethanol on a 2Ru/ZrO2 (111) surface, and showed that a Ru-doped ZrO 2 surface might be a fairly effective catalyst to dehydrogenate ethanol.

Direct oxidation of hydrocarbons in a solid-oxide fuel cell
TL;DR: The observation that a solid-oxide fuel cell can be operated on dry hydrocarbons, including liquid fuels, without reforming, suggests that this type of fuel cell could provide an alternative to hydrogen-based fuel-cell technologies.

Fuel Cells - Fundamentals and Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both low-temperature and high temperature fuel cells and propose a modularization of fuel cells, which makes them quite flexible as the power needed can easily be attained by changing the number of modules.
