Hydrogen Production Performances via Steam Reforming over Hydrotalcite Derived Catalyst: A Sustainable Energy Production Review

摘要

The review outcome represents the optimum catalytic conditions for the production of hydrogen using hydrotalcite derived catalysts. It covers dry and steam reforming of methane, steam reforming of methanol and ethanol to hydrogen. The review also revealed the specific properties of hydrotalcite derived catalysts for the reactions. Among catalyst investigated, Ni & Fe promoted Al-Mg containing hydrotalcite catalyst perform best (99%) for dry reforming of methane at 250°C. For steam methane reforming, Ni containing ca-aluminates hydrotalcite catalyst act as the best (99%) at 550°C. Cu-supported Zn-Al-containing catalyst performs the best (99.98%) for steam reforming of methanol at 300°C whereas Cu impregnated Mg-Al containing hydrotalcite is the best (99%) for steam reforming of ethanol at 200°C - 600°C. It’s (HT) tunable and versatile textural and morphological properties showed excellent catalytic performances for different industrial processes and in sustainable hydrogen production.
