Investigation of a novel porous anodic alumina plate for methane steam reforming: Hydrothermal stability, electrical heating possibility and reforming reactivity

Electrified methane reforming: A compact approach to greener industrial hydrogen production

“…With less need for heat-recovery, resistance-heated reforming is efficiently applicable at many different sizes, promoting delocalization designs by utilizing the existing and well-developed infrastructure of natural gas, or potentially also biogas. Low thermal mass can also lead to reformers optimized for intermittent operation, following the fluctuations in availability of excess renewable energy with 5 possible startup times in seconds (23,26). The operating costs for an electrified reformer are directly related to the cost of electricity, natural gas, and CO2 taxes.…”

Structured Ni catalysts on porous anodic alumina membranes for methane dry reforming: NiAl2O4formation and characterization

“…helps to improve the catalyst resistance towards coke deposition through different mechanisms, like reducing and stabilizing the Ni particle size, tailoring the ensemble size of Ni catalysts, and blocking the step sites. 27 However, limited work was reported regarding the improvement of carbon deposition resistance of the Ni catalyst with the NiAl 2 O 4 system only during MDR. Alternatively, stabilization of Ni particles using a strong metal support interaction (SMSI) effect against coke deposition has become a very active research topic recently.…”

Influence of anodization parameters on film thickness and volume expansion of thick- and large-sized anodic aluminum oxide film

“…They reported that Pd-based AAO catalyst exhibited higher productivity than spherical Pd/Al 2 O 3 catalyst due to the advantages in mass/heat transfer and con nement effect of cylindrical pores. Some relevant research groups [3][4][5][6][7] and our group [8][9][10][11] applied the novel MMC catalyst support to various elds such as hydrogenation reaction [3], steam reforming of methanol [4], Suzuki cross-coupling reaction [5], Fischer-Tropsch synthesis [6], VOCs combustion [7] and steam reforming of methane [11].…”
