Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The catalytic properties of Ni3Sn and Ni3Sn2 powders were investigated for producing hydrogen from decomposing methanol during 593–953 K. The activities of Ni3Sn and Ni3Sn2 both increased with increasing temperature, but Ni3Sn showed much higher activity than Ni3Sn2. Furthermore, Ni3Sn and Ni3Sn2 both showed a high degree of selectivity for methanol decomposition.
