Ethanol steam reforming over Co-based catalysts: Role of oxygen mobility
Abstract.
The effect of oxygen mobility on the bio-ethanol steam reforming of ZrO2- and CeO2-supported cobalt
catalysts was investigated. The supported catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation
(IWI) and characterized through N2 physisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature
programmed oxidation, laser Raman spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy,
O2 pulse chemisorption, isotopic labeling, and transmission electron microscopy techniques at
various life stages of the catalyst. The results indicated that the catalyst deactivation was due mostly to
deposition of various types of carbon on the surface although cobalt sintering could also be contributing
to the deactivation. The addition of ceria was found to improve the catalytic stability as well as activity,
primarily due to the higher oxygen mobility of ceria.
