Abstract

Fe-Cr-Cu nanocatalyst was synthesized through an inorganic-precursor thermolysis approach and exploited for high temperature water gas shift reaction. The results demonstrated that the method used for the nanocatalyst fabrication led to smaller crystallite size (32.9 nm) and higher BET surface area (127.3 m2/g) compared to those of a reference sample (65.5 nm, 78.6 m2/g) prepared by co-precipitation conventional method. Furthermore, the obtained data for catalytic activity showed that the catalyst prepared via inorganic precursor has better activity than the reference sample in all studied temperatures (350-500 °C) and also exhibited higher catalytic activity than a commercial Fe-Cr-Cu catalyst in higher temperatures (more than 450 °C).
