The successful development of a fuel cell-powered vehicle is dependent on the development of a fuel processor. In order to develop of a gasoline fuel processor system for integration with a proton exchanged membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), we investigated the commercial reforming catalysts and various supported transition metal formulations for POX reforming (autothermal reforming, ATR) reaction of iso-octane in order to develop a high performance catalyst with high activity and stability. We also investigated high temperature water gas shift (HTS) reaction over Fe3O4-Cr2O3 catalysts and low temperature shift (LTS) reaction over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst to remove CO from the hydrogen-rich stream produced by POX reforming of iso-octane. As a part of the development of gasoline fuel processor for fuel cell-powered vehicles applications, the POX reforming reaction over supported transition metal catalysts and the LTS reaction over transition metal carbides and platinum supported cerium oxide catalysts were investigated. |
