Abstract

Formic acid decomposition to H 2 -rich gas was investigated over a CuO-CeO 2 /γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, HR TEM and EDX methods. A 100% conversion of formic acid was observed over the copper-ceria catalyst under ambient pressure, at 200–300 °C, N 2 :HCOOH = 75:25 vol.% and flow rate 3500–35,000 h −1 with H 2 yield of 98%, wherein outlet CO concentration is below the equilibrium data (<0.5 vol.%). The copper-ceria catalyst proved to be promising for multifuel processor application, and the H 2 generation from dimethoxymethane, methanol, dimethyl ether and formic acid on the same catalyst for fuel cell supply.
