Renewable Hydrogen from Ethanol by Autothermal Reforming

Abstract
Ethanol and ethanol-water mixtures were converted directly into H2 with ∼100% selectivity and >95% conversion by catalytic partial oxidation, with a residence time on rhodium-ceria catalysts of 2 generation in fuel cells for small portable applications where liquid fuel storage is essential and where systems must be small, simple, and robust.
