Studies of Hydrogen Production by the Water Gas Shift Reaction and Related Chemistry

摘要

Many systems have been investigated for the catalysis of the water gas shift reaction and for electrocatalytic oxidation of CO. These systems have involved precious metal complexes composed of Pt, Rh, and Ir, and reaction conditions for these systems have been especially mild: atmospheric pressures and low temperatures. In addition aqueous acidic conditions for these systems have been pursued with particular interest in adopting water gas shift catalysts to act as electrocatalysts for the anode reaction of CO fuel cells.
