Abstract

Nanostructured Ni metal and Ni-Re alloy active species supported on the surface of the total metallic Ni honeycomb substrate and the porous Ni metal substrate are studied as the novel catalyst system for hydrogen generation from steam methane reforming. The bimetallic Ni-Re nano-alloy active species on the surface of the metallic Ni honeycomb substrate or porous Ni metal substrate exhibit the remarkably enhanced activity for steam methane reforming to generate hydrogen especially at lower reaction temperatures. The total metallic catalysts with excellent electric and heat conductivity and almost zero bed pressure loss are expected to be used for the innovation industrial processes.
