(536e) Innovative Pressurized Diesel Reforming for Sustainable Hydrogen Productionusing Advanced PtRu-CGO Catalyst

This study suggests a novel approach for producing hydrogen through the pressurized reforming of commercial diesel, leveraging the PtRu-CGO catalyst. Foundational experiments were performed with PtRu-CGO powder catalysts at conditions up to 9 bar and 800°C, achieving complete fuel conversion and a stable performance with an average hydrogen concentration of approximately 58.7 mol%. Additionally, the development of structured catalysts also showed that high efficiency and durability could be maintained under a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 10,000 h^-1. Notably, at 6 bar, the system exhibited an extraordinary efficiency of around 75% over 300 hours of continuous operation. These results underscore the practicality of pressurized diesel reforming for hydrogen production with the PtRu-CGO catalyst, underlining its potential in the development and optimization of hydrogen energy systems and aiding the shift towards a hydrogen-based economy.
