Enhanced Phenol Steam Reforming for Selective Hydrogen Production Using Nickel Modified Bimetallic Zinc Titanate Nanocomposite

Abstract

Highly reducible Ni/TiO2 modified ZnTiO3 composite was synthesized through hydrothermal approach and tested through phenol steam reforming (PSR) for hydrogen production. The activity tests were conducted in a continuous flow reactor to determine the effect of bi metal modified ZnTiO3 support on PSR reaction. Ni/TiO2 modified ZnTiO3 composite is a promising reforming catalyst for H2 production and can be further employed in cleaner energy production and other environmental applications.
