Abstract

An influence of nickel oxide as a component of ZnO(CeO2, La2O3)-CuO-NiO/Al2O3 based catalysts, supported by structured ceramic monoliths, on their operation in methanol decomposition is studied. The results obtained, including with use of XRD, SEM, TPR techniques, show that NiO-doping causes promoting effect achieving 90–96 % of hydrogen yield as a target product at moderate temperatures of 250–320 °C. We attribute this effect to a decreased reducibility of a copper oxide within the catalyst composition.
