Summary
Hydrogen, a clean fuel, is primarily produced from fossil resources via the catalytic reforming of hydrocarbons at high temperatures. Alternatively, it can be produced more efficiently at low temperature through the aqueous-phase reforming of simple alcohols such as methanol. The project explores the feasibility of hydrogen generation from methanol (a renewable feedstock) as facilitated by novel catalysts designed to work efficiently at low temperatures in liquid environments. Concomitantly, the project lays the groundwork for a multidisciplinary research program providing research and educa
