Achieving efficient almost CO-free hydrogen production from methanol steam reforming on Cu modified α-MoC.

ABSTRACT: Methanol, serving as a hydrogen carrier, is utilized for hydrogen production through steam reforming, a promising technology for on-vehicle hydrogen applications. Despite the impressive performance of noble-metal catalysts in hydrogen generation, the development of highly efficient non-noble-metal heterogeneous catalysts remains a formidable challenge. In our investigation, we systematically controlled the influence of the MoC phase on the dispersion of active copper metal to enhance the catalytic performance of methanol steam reforming (MSR). Within the Cu/MoC catalyst systems, featuring MoC phases including α-MoC_1-x and Mo₂C phases, alongside MoO₂ phases, the Cu/α-MoC catalyst exhibited exceptional catalytic efficacy at 350 °C. It achieved a remark
