A nanoparticle bed micro-reactor with high syngas yield for moderate temperature micro-scale SOFC power plants

▸ A novel compact catalytic nanoparticle bed micro-fabricated reactor is introduced. ▸ A specially designed carrier for testing the micro-reactor is fabricated. ▸ The micro-reactor can be integrated in small-scale SOFC systems. ▸ The micro-reactor is able to achieve higher syngas yield for n-butane and propane than state of the art micro-reactors.
