Support effects on catalysis of low temperature methane steam reforming

Abstract

Low temperature (<500 K) methane steam reforming in an electric field was investigated over various catalysts.

Effects of alloying for steam or dry reforming of methane: a review of recent studies

“…The author's group investigated SRM in an electric field. [91][92][93][94][95] In this system, constant current is applied after two electrodes are inserted on and under the catalyst bed (Fig. 11(Left)).…”

Recent progress in use and observation of surface hydrogen migration over metal oxides

“…[39][40][41] This active migration is called surface protonics. It has been revealed that surface protonics plays a key role in activating the cleavage of strong bonds, as in the NRN bond in N 2 , [13][14][15][16][17]42,43 and the C-H bond in hydrocarbons, as in CH 4 [42][43][44][45][46] and methylcyclohexane (MCH). 4,5 Those activations make it possible to catalyze hydrogen production and formation of the hydrogen carrier, even at low temperatures (o500 K).…”

Elucidation of the reaction mechanism on dry reforming of methane in an electric field by in situ DRIFTs

“…20,21 Under these circumstances, our group has proposed a catalytic reaction in an electric eld (EF) in which direct current is applied by inserting electrodes at the top and bottom edges of the catalyst layer to promote the reaction. [22][23][24][25] We earlier reported various effects of enhanced activity and lowered apparent activation energy at low temperatures in DRM, 26 RWGS, 27 and CO 2 methanation. 28 However, details of the reactivity of CO 2 and its adsorption ability in the EF have not been claried.…”
