Additive WO2 promotes Ni- based catalyst for hydrogen production from auto-thermal reforming of acetic acid

Hui Chen et al.

Summary: Nickel-based catalysts show good initial activity in the ATR of acetic acid but face deactivation issues. Ni-2W/SiO2 catalyst with 2 wt% W decoration exhibits the best catalytic performance, maintaining 100% conversion of acetic acid and 2.8 mol-H2/mol-HAc hydrogen yield without sintering or carbon deposition. The excellent catalytic performance is attributed to the interaction between WO2 and Ni, the electron donor effect of WO2, and the enhanced adsorption and dehydrogenation of CH3COOH on the WO2/Ni(1 1 1) interface.

Insights into the Mechanism of Methanol Steam Reforming for Hydrogen Production over Ni-Cu-Based Catalysts

Jose L. C. Fajin et al.

Summary: Ni-Cu catalysts are low cost, highly selective for CO2 and H-2 in methanol steam reforming, blocking the production of methane, CO, and coke. The mechanism of methanol steam reforming on Ni-Cu surfaces involves methanol decomposition followed by the water-gas shift reaction, with a minority route for direct CO2 formation. The Ni-Cu alloy suppresses methane and coke formation and has a high desorption barrier for CO species, avoiding its production.
