摘要：Fuel cell systems with integrated autothermal reforming unit require active and robust catalysts for H 2 production. Thus, an experimental screening of catalysts for autothermal reforming of commercial biodiesel fuel was performed. Catalysts consisted of a monolithic cordierite substrate, an oxide support (γ-Al 2 O 3 ) and Pt, Ru, Ni, PtRh and PtRu as active phase. Experiments were run by widely varying the O 2 /C and H 2 O/C molar ratios at different gas hourly space velocities. Fresh and aged catalysts were characterized by temperature programmed methods and thermogravimetry to find correlations with catalytic activity and stability.
