Recent progress in ethanol steam reforming using non-noble transition metal catalysts: A review

Controlled selectivity for ethanol steam reforming reaction over doped CeO2 surfaces: The role of gallium

“…The metallic function is also crucial to run an effective steam reforming reaction, since the desired final products are H 2 and CO 2 . Cobalt sites, for example, favor CC scission and water activation [60]. However, choosing the "right" metal-oxide combination and manipulating metal-support interactions, as well as controlling the effect of metal loading is important to obtain active, stable, and improved ESR catalysts [2,61].…”

Effect of Supports and Promoters on the Performance of Ni‐Based Catalysts in Ethanol Steam Reforming

“…It is a highly efficient energy carrier (143 MJ kg -1 ) and it is mainly applied in fuel cells [3]. Green hydrogen can be produced from water electrolysis [4,5], photocatalytic methods [6,7], and from steam reforming of organic compounds such as methanol, ethanol, glycerol, acetic acid, acetol, and methane [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In the latter process, ethanol steam reforming (ESR) to produce hydrogen is a green and promising process because ethanol is a green material arising from biomass via conventional fermentation [22][23][24][25].…”

“…Therefore, the conversion of excess ethanol into valuable and green materials like hydrogen is quite necessary to enhance the ethanol production industry and to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. ESR can produce up to 6 mol hydrogen from 1 mol ethanol through the following reaction [14]:…”

“…Hydrogen rapidly increased following the increase of the reaction temperature from 0 to 300°C and reached its maximum yield above 400°C. However, ESR typically contains several steps, including dehydrogenation, steam reforming, and the water-gas shift reaction [14].…”

Bioethanol Steam Reforming over Cobalt-Containing USY and ZSM-5 Commercial Zeolite Catalysts

“…This, combined with the negative impact of their combustion on the environment, grows the global interest in the development of renewable energy sources intensively. Paying attention to hydrogen as a green energy carrier is a derivative of its possible application in internal combustion engines or fuel cells for efficient electricity generation (Bion et al, 2010;Sekine et al, 2014;Ogo et al, 2015;Zanchet et al, 2015;Ogo and Sekine, 2020). Hydrogen is expected to become the main energy source and long-term replacement for natural gas shortly.…”
