Effects of nanocrystalline CeO2 supports on the properties and performance
of Ni–Rh bimetallic catalyst for oxidative steam reforming of ethanol

Abstract

This study focuses on the effects of the CeO2 support properties on the catalyst properties and performance of bimetallic Ni–Rh/CeO2 catalysts containing 5 wt% Ni and 1 wt% Rh for the oxidative steam reforming (OSR) of ethanol for hydrogen production and fuel cell applications. Three CeO2 supports with different crystal sizes and surface areas were examined. The surface areas of these supports increases in the order of CeO2-I (74 m2/g)
