Abstract. The preparation and the pretreatment of Pd/ZnO catalysts were studied for methanol steam reforming. The presence of nitric acid in Pd nitrate precursor significantly altered the porosities and crystalline structures of the ZnO support. The dissolution of ZnO and extent of mixing between the Zn2 + and Pd2 + cations during catalyst preparation may have an impact on the PdZn alloy fo…
Recent years have seen an enormous amount of funding directed toward fuel cell research and development based on different fuel sources and fuel cell types. The number of small and large companies that are seriously working on fuel cell development is incredible, as seen in the roster maintained by Fuel Cell Today online.1 One of the most popular fuels in these endeavors is methanol, whether u…
