Abstract
In-situ supply of H2 by aqueous phase reforming (APR) of methanol is promising but still challenging due to the unsatisfied activity and stability of catalyst. Herein, we prepared lanthanum nickel perovskite supporting Pt catalysts and evaluated their performance in methanol APR. A transformation from lanthanum nickel perovskite into LaCO3OH happened after APR. The characterizations results reveal that these two perovskite catalysts transformed into LaCO3OH supporting Pt and NiOx structure. We further prepared Pt-NiOx/LaCO3OH catalyst to verify it. Combining with temperature programmed surface reaction, a possible mechanism is proposed. The transformed catalyst possessed more metallic Pt sites and more abundant active OH groups, which are beneficial for methanol decomposition and CO shift, respectively. In addition, although the structure transformation happened for perovskite supporting Pt catalyst, it presented extremely excellent stability with only 7% loss of its highest rate of hydrogen production after 315 h on stream.
