In this work, bimetallic Cu-Ni catalysts supported on binary oxides containing ZnO, ZrO2, CeO2 and Al2O3 were investigated in hydrogen production via the oxidative steam reforming of methanol (OSRM). Their physicochemical properties were extensively studied using various methods such as BET, TPR-H2, TPD-NH3, XRD, SEM-EDS, ToF-SIMS and XPS. The reactivity measurements showed that the active phase and support composition played an important role in the activity of the catalyst in the OSRM. The most active system at higher temperatures was 30% Cu–10% Ni/CeO2·Al2O3, with high catalytic activity attributed to the Cu0.8Ni0.2 alloy formation. In addition, the reactivity results showed that the most active catalyst exhibited high acidity and was easily reduced. At low temperatures, the best catalytic properties were exhibited by 30% Cu–10% Ni/ZrO2·Al2O3. The reactivity and physicochemical properties of the studied catalysts confirmed the crucial role of alloy composition on their catalytic properties in the oxy-steam reforming of methanol. The obtained results validate the possibility of using Cu-Ni catalysts for hydrogen production.

ABSTRACTThe goal of this research is to investigate the activities of a non-noble nano-catalyst (Ni/SiO2) using Si-microreactors for steam reforming of methanol to produce hydrogen for fuel cells. The supported catalyst was synthesized by sol-gel method using Ni (II) salts and Si(C2H5O)4 as starting materials. EDX results indicate that the actual loading of Ni (5-6%) is lower than the intended loading of 12 %. The specific surface area of the silica sol-gel encapsulated Ni nano-catalyst is 452 m2/g with an average pore size of ∼ 3 nm. Steam reforming reactions have been carried out in a microreactor with 50 µm channels in the temperature range of 180-240 °C and atmospheric pressure. Results show 53% conversion of methanol with a selectivity of 74 % to hydrogen at 5 l/min and 200 °C. The magnetic properties of the catalysts were performed using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) to study the activity of the catalysts before and after the steam reforming reactions. The VSM results indicate much higher activity in the microreactor compared to macro-reactor and Ni forms non-ferromagnetic species faster in the microreactor.
