Reforming of natural gas using coking-resistant catalyst for fuel cell system applications

► α-Al2O3 is a more stable catalyst support than γ-Al2O3. ► The Pt/CeO2/α-Al2O3 catalyst is able to effectively eliminate coking problem. ► The CeO2 coating layer provides excellent coking resistance for the catalyst. ► The CeO2 coating layer also prevents catalyst from being pulverized.
