Ni/CGO Ni-Ru/CGO - Ni/CGO and Ni-Ru/CGO based pre-reforming catalysts formulation for methane rich gas production from diesel precessing for fuel cell applications

摘要

In one aspect, the present invention provides a catalyst for converting diesel liquid hydrocarbons to methane-rich gases. The catalyst comprises a nickel component, a cerium oxide component, and a gadolinium oxide component. The catalysts provide high conversion, selectivity and stability over modern commercial catalysts. The catalyst composition can improve overall fuel cell efficiency for both mobile and stationary fuel cell applications.
