Electrochemical partial reforming of organics provides an alternative strategy to produce valuable organic compounds while generating H2 under mild conditions. In this work, highly selective electrochemical reforming of ethanol into ethyl acetate is successfully achieved by using ultrathin Co3O4 nanosheets with exposed (111) facets as an anode catalyst. Those nanosheets were synthesized by a on...

The conversion of logistics fuels to hydrogen by steam reforming is attractive but poses great challenge since they contain sulfur up to about 3000 ppm leading to catalyst deactivation due to sulfur poisoning. In this paper, we report the fabrication of nominally doped nanoscale ceriasupported rhodium catalyst matrices for their performance evaluation in sulfur-laden fuel streams. Systematic st...

The effect of ruthenium on the physico-chemical properties of CeZr and CeZrCo mixed oxides for H2 production by glycerol steam reforming reaction has been studied. The combination of in situ Raman spectroscopy under both reductive and oxidative conditions, H2/O2 pulses and XRD, Raman, BET analysis, H2-TPR and TPD-TPO analyses contributed to the determination of the structural and textural prope...

Large amounts of global sources of remote natural reserves gas are identified along with the main objective to allow energy contained in to be moved economically to the market. The current options that are adopted to export natural gas are basically two:1. To liquefy the gas and ship it as LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). 2. To convert it to bulk petrochemicals in particular methanol or ammonia and...

11 Nanoscale Co and Ni catalysts in silica were synthesized using sol–gel method for hydrogen production from steam reforming of methanol ( 2 −1 N C a a f 1 1 12

This communication presents the successful design of a structured catalyst based on porous anodic alumina membranes for methane dry reforming. The catalyst with a strong Ni-NiAl2O4 interaction shows both excellent activity and stability.

"Reforming Emergency Care" has huge implications for ambulance services to develop their future role and the opportunity to improve patient care. This article aims to stimulate debate on the effect on ambulance services in the United Kingdom.
