A unique microwave effect on the microstructural modification of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts for steam reforming of methanol

A short time (3-10 min) of microwave irradiation on the CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 oxide precursor can result in a unique tailored microstructural modification on the catalyst, leading to a significantly enhanced performance for H-2 production from steam reforming of methanol.
