Abstract

A study was carried out on the steam reforming of bioethanol (15 vol.% ethanol in water) at 250–500 °C on copper catalysts supported on ZrO2 of the monoclinic (Z) and yttrium-stabilized tetragonal crystalline modifications (YSZ). Copper nanoparticles in such catalysts have similar reactivity regardless of the copper content and crystalline modification of the support. Cu/YSZ is highly selective relative to CO2, which may be related to enhanced mobility of oxygen in the support in the presence of Y2O3 stabilizing additive.
