Hydrogen from bottle-the magic of Pt catalysts for methanol reforming instantly start-up from cold weather

摘要: Abstract Hydrogen is a clean energy carrier, but does not occur naturally. Here we reported novel process to get instant hydrogen from mixture of methanol and dilute peroxide. The can be obtained instantly once the fuel in contact with platinum catalyst without any external heating or input. started stopped more than 100 times before new load required. Pure produced by combining reforming water gas shift bed, which driven heat process. Interestingly discovered that only catalysts synergistically activate peroxide give spontaneously. preparation conditions impurities have significant effects on This work overcomes various hurdles on-board for production provides way catalyse utilization cells.
