Abstract
A novel nano CuZnAl-spinel catalyst has been successfully synthesized
and tested for autothermal steam reforming of methanol to produce
onboard hydrogen for fuel cell applications. The catalyst performance
has been studied using three crucial operating parameters, namely,
the methanol space velocity, molar ratios of water/methanol and oxygen/methanol.
The effects of these parameters have been investigated in terms of
methanol conversion and hydrogen production rate. The optimal hydrogen
production rate of about 575 mmol kg-1 s-1 has been
achieved at 300 degC in this study.
