Abstract
Steam reforming catalysts play an essential role in the production of hydrogen, which is an essential fuel, feedstock, and reactant in the worldwide chemical industry. These steam reforming catalysts use a finely dispersed metal, supported on a porous ceramic material, to produce hydrogen from hydrocarbon sources. This is shown in reaction 1, where HC denotes hydrocarbon, H2O denotes water, H2 denotes dihydrogen, CO denotes carbon monoxide, CO2 denotes carbon dioxide, and CH4 denotes methane.
