“…Out of these, methanol has been widely used as a liquid fuel for production of hydrogen by different conversion technologies because of its high H 2 content, low-cost, easy storage and convenient transportation [ 16 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Recently, many methods have been introduced for the production of hydrogen such as stream reforming of methanol and natural gas [ 20 , 21 , 27 ], partial oxidation of methanol [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], gasification of coal [ 22 ], and electrolysis of methanol-water [ 23 ]. Hydrogen yield of 20 mol % was achieved by Gondal et al.…”
