Methane steam reforming over Ni catalyst supported on perovskite type oxide

Abstract

On the steam reforming of methane, coke formation on the catalyst was severe problem which causes the deactivation of catalyst. So, suppressing the coke formation was expected for the fuel cell application. Up to now, we employed perovskite oxides as a support of catalyst which has mobile oxygen on/in the support, and conducted redox type steam reforming reaction with this catalyst. In this presentation, we tried to examine the effect of support on this reforming reaction.
