Marrying gas power and hydrogen energy: A catalytic system for combining methane conversion and hydrogen generation

Abstract

Ceria-based catalysts are good candidates for integrating methane combustion and hydrogen generation. These new, tuneable catalysts are easily prepared. They are robust inorganic crystalline materials, and perform well at the 400 °C–550 °C range, in some cases even without precious metals. This makes them attractive for practical applications in the energy conversion market.
