Catalytic Steam Reforming of Biomass-Derived Oxygenates for H2 Production: A Review on Ni-Based Catalysts

The steam reforming of ethanol, methanol, and other oxygenates (e.g., bio-oil olive mill wastewater) using Ni-based catalysts have been studied by the scientific community in last few years. This process is already well over years, being critical point, at this moment, choice a suitable catalyst. utilization these for production “green” H2 an interesting alternative to fuel fossils. For application, extensively since they are highly active cheaper than noble metal-based materials. In review, comparison several reported literature different above-mentioned reactions carried out. study aims understand if such demonstrate enough catalytic activity/stability application oxygenated compounds which preparation methods most adequate obtain summary, it provide insights into performances reached point out best way get better improved applications (which depends on feedstock used).
