Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies, titled “Hydrogen and Syngas Generation”. These topics are related to vital hydrogen and renewable energy fields including catalytic transformation of biogas/biofuels into syngas and hydrogen on structured catalysts for feeding fuel cells and synfuels production and hydrogen and syngas generation in catalytic reactors equipped with hydrogen/oxygen separation membranes or in solid oxide electrolysers.

This Special Issue will deal with novel approaches to designing efficient catalysts of these processes and their operation optimization via elucidation of atomic-scale features of reaction mechanism; synthesis of nanocomposite active components by new methods and detailed characterization of their real structure, surface properties, and reactivity; and mathematical modeling of real device performance, taking into account heat and mass transfer processes. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Design of new types of nanocomposite active components for catalysts of syngas and hydrogen generation;
  • Design of structured heat-conducting catalysts for biogas/biofuels transformation into syngas by partial oxidation, steam/dry, or autothermal reforming;
  • Internal reforming of biofuels in SOFC;
  • Design and testing of asymmetric supported nanocomposite membranes for oxygen separation from air (to be used for biofuels oxidation) or hydrogen separation from syngas;
  • Design and testing of structured catalysts for water gas shift reaction and preferential CO oxidation in hydrogen feeds;
  • Design and testing of SOE for transformation of water-CO2 feeds into syngas;
  • Mathematical modeling of structured catalysts, catalytic membrane, SOFC, and SOE performance;
  • Syngas and hydrogen generation in redox cycles for complex oxide/metal systems with a high oxygen mobility and storage capacity;
  • Performance stability to coking and sintering;
  • Hydrogen generation by interaction of Al-based alloys with water.

The Ni-containing catalysts based on ceria–zirconia doped with Ti and Ti+Nb were prepared by the solvothermal method in supercritical fluids. Ni deposition was carried out by incipient wetness impregnation and the one-pot technique. All materials were investigated by a complex of physicochemical methods (XRD, BET, TEM, H2-TPR). Samples catalytic properties were studied in methane dry reforming in the plug-flow reactor. Conversions of CH4 and CO2, H2/CO ratio, and CO and H2 yields were measured, and detailed kinetics analysis was carried out. The influence of Ni loading method and support modification on the catalytic behavior in the methane dry reforming process was studied. The preparation method of catalysts affects the textural characteristics. For one-pot samples, pore volume and surface area are lower than for impregnated samples. For catalysts on modified supports, strong metal–support interaction was shown to increase catalytic activity. A reduction pretreatment of samples was shown to have significant influence on their catalytic properties. The kinetic parameters such as reaction rate constant at 700 °C, effective activation energy, and TOF were estimated and analyzed. Full article

A sorption-enhanced water-gas shift (SEWGS) system providing CO2-free synthesis gas (CO + H2) for jet fuel production from pure CO was studied. The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction was catalyzed by a commercial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst and carried out with in-situ CO2 removal on a 20 wt% potassium-promoted hydrotalcite-derived sorbent. Catalyst activity was investigated in a fixed bed tubular reactor. Different sorbent materials and treatments were characterized by CO2 chemisorption among other analysis methods to choose a suitable sorbent. Cyclic breakthrough tests in an isothermal packed bed microchannel reactor (PBMR) were performed at significantly lower modified residence times than those reported in literature. A parameter study gave an insight into the effect of pressure, adsorption feed composition, desorption conditions, as well as reactor configuration on breakthrough delay and adsorbed amount of CO2. Special attention was paid to the steam content. The significance of water during adsorption as well as desorption confirmed the existence of different adsorption sites. Various reactor packing concepts showed that the interaction of relatively fast reaction and relatively slow adsorption kinetics plays a key role in the SEWGS process design at low residence time conditions.

A series of 5%Ni-CexZr1−xO2 (x = 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) catalysts has been prepared via one-pot solvothermal continuous synthesis in supercritical isopropanol and incipient wetness impregnation of CexZr1−xO2 obtained by the same route. The textural, structural, red-ox, and catalytic properties in methane dry reforming (MDR) of Ni-modified Ce-Zr oxides synthesized by two routes have been compared. It was shown by XRD, TEM, and Raman spectroscopy that the method of Ni introduction does not affect the phase composition of the catalysts, but determines the dispersion of NiO. Despite a high dispersion of NiO and near-uniform distribution of Ni within Ce-Zr particles observed for the one-pot catalysts, they have shown a lower activity and stability in MDR as compared with impregnated ones. This is a result of a low Ni concentration in the surface layer due to segregation of Ce and decoration of nickel nanoparticles with support species. Full article
