摘要：The metal-oxide interaction has been considered as an effective factor for catalytic performance in methanol steam reforming. In this work, Ti modified Cu/y-Al2O3/Al catalyst was prepared by anodization technology. It is found that the addition of Ti can largely increase the surface area of the carrier and thus improve the dispersion of copper. The coexistence of Ti4+ and Ti3+ makes the charge transfer between Cu and Ti easier, which improves the redox performance of copper. The DFT calculations reveal that Ti also enhance the adsorption capacity of water and methanol on the surface of the catalysts. Besides, Ti also reduce the acid density on the carrier, inhibit methanol dehydration reaction and thereby reduce the selectivity of the DME. The optimal catalyst CuTi1.9/y-Al2O3/ Al achieves nearly 100% conversion at 275 degrees C, while the methanol conversion of Cu/yAl2O3/Al is 82%. And the H2 output of CuTi1.9/y-Al2O3/Al reached 69.17 mol/(kgcat$h) at 300 degrees C. (c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
