Hydrotalcite-dispersed paper-structured catalyst for dry reforming of methane

摘要

High temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can accept the direct feed of hydrocarbon fuels which are reformed in the porous anode materials producing H_2-rich syngas, subsequently used to generate electricity and heat through electrochemical oxidation. This type of SOFC is called direct internal reforming SOFC (DIR-SOFC). Now we try to overcome problems associated with the DIR-SOFC, such as carbon deposition caused by internal reforming, by applying a flexible structured-catalyst called paper-structured catalyst (PSC). Here, recent progresses are summarized focusing on the catalytic activity of hydrotalcite-containing PSCs for the dry reforming of methane.
