Abstract

The glycerol steam reforming (GSR) reaction for hydrogen production, was investigated over Ni catalysts supported on perovskite-type oxides (Ni/BaZrO3, Ni/CaZrO3 and Ni/SrZrO3) synthesized via the auto-combustion method. The prepared catalysts were characterized via XRD and H2-TPR, showing a high phase purity (limited formation of alkaline earth carbonate impurity phases) and reducibility. Catalytic activity evaluation revealed that Ni/CaZrO3 (CaZ-Ni7) and Ni/SrZrO3 (SrZ-Ni7) were remarkably active for the conversion of glycerol towards gaseous products, yielding high amounts of H2 and preventing its consumption via side-reactions, like COx hydrogenation. Ni/BaZrO3 (BaZ-Ni7) was found to be less effective for the gasification of glycerol, providing an overall lower H2 yield. Ni/SrZrO3 (SrZ-Ni7) was shown to be the best-performing and most resilient catalyst, exhibiting a remarkably stable performance during 20h time-on-stream at 600 °C, as it outperforms many of the employed catalysts in the literature. The produced gas has a very high H2/CO ratio (> 20) and thus, could be fed into fuel cell stacks without extensive downstream processing.
