Effect of Support Composition on the Activity of Ni Supported Catalysts for Hydrogen Production

Ni/Al₂O₃-CeO₂ catalysts of variable ceria composition were studied for SRE reaction. Support was prepared by Sol-Gel and Ni was incorporated by DPU.  The activity, selectivity and stability were analyzed as a function of the ceria content. Sample with 20 wt.%  ceria content was the most active, selective and stable catalyst.
