N2 - Hydrogen production is gaining increased importance in view of ultimate clean and high calorific energy sources, and especially for use in fuel cells. For large-scale hydrogen production, the use of liquid hydrocarbon fuels to generate hydrogen is considered as an immediate solution. In this study, a multi-component thermo-neutral reforming (TNR) catalyst in various sizes and shapes was used to convert liquid fuels such as heavy naphtha and diesel into hydrogen-rich syngas for fuel cell-based power applications. Starting from powder form to pallets, monolith and finally microlith coated TNR catalyst was prepared, characterized and evaluated for syngas production. Monolith or microlith based structured catalysts can withstand the rugged environment in which these fuel processors on-board vehicles are subjected for applications. Structured TNR catalysts were prepared to achieve complete conversion of liquid fuels to hydrogen-rich syngas.
