Abstract
Hydrogen production through methanol reforming processes has been stimulated over the years due to increasing interest in fuel cell technology and clean energy production. Among different types of methanol reforming, the steam reforming of methanol has attracted great interest as reformate gas stream where high concentration of hydrogen is produced with a negligible amount of carbon monoxide. In this review, recent progress of the main reforming processes of methanol towards hydrogen production is summarized. Different catalytic systems are reviewed for the steam reforming of methanol: mainly copper- and group 8–10-based catalysts, highlighting the catalytic key properties, while the promoting effect of the latter group in copper activity and selectivity is also discussed. The effect of different preparation methods, different promoters/stabilizers, and the formation mechanism is analyzed. Moreover, the integration of methanol steam reforming process and the high temperature–polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) for the development of clean energy production is discussed.

Abstract
Structural and chemical transformations of ultrathin oxide films on transition metals lie at the heart of many complex phenomena in heterogeneous catalysis, such as the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI). However, there is limited atomic-scale understanding of these transformations, especially for irreducible oxides such as ZnO. Here, by combining density functional theory calculations and surface science techniques, including scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, and low-energy electron diffraction, we investigated the interfacial interaction of well-defined ultrathin ZnOxHy films on Pd(111) under varying gas-phase conditions [ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), 5 × 10-7 mbar of O2, and a D2/O2 mixture] to shed light on the SMSI effect of irreducible oxides. Sequential treatment of submonolayer zinc oxide films in a D2/O2 mixture (1:4) at 550 K evoked reversible structural transformations from a bilayer to a monolayer and further to a Pd-Zn near-surface alloy, demonstrating that zinc oxide, as an irreducible oxide, can spread on metal surfaces and show an SMSI-like behavior in the presence of hydrogen. A mixed canonical-grand canonical phase diagram was developed to bridge the gap between UHV conditions and true SMSI environments, revealing that, in addition to surface alloy formation, certain ZnOxHy films with stoichiometries that do not exist in bulk are stabilized by Pd in the presence of hydrogen. Based on the combined theoretical and experimental observations, we propose that SMSI metal nanoparticle encapsulation for irreducible oxide supports such as ZnO involves both surface (hydroxy)oxide and surface alloy formation, depending on the environmental conditions.

Abstract
Ni, Pt and a mixture of Ni and Pt supported on ZnO-rods were evaluated in autothermal steam reforming of methanol (ASRM) for hydrogen production as a function of the reaction temperature. The catalytic materials were characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, TEM, HRTEM, TPR and BET. Analysis by SEM and TEM showed structural modifications on the surface of the ZnO rods after Ni impregnation. The reactivity of the catalytic materials in the range of 200–500 °C showed that the bimetallic sample had better catalytic activity among all the catalysts studied. This finding could be associated to PtZn and NiZn alloys present in this catalyst, which were identified by XRD and HRTEM analyses. Catalyst characterization by XRD after the catalytic testing showed that the intermetallic PtZn phase was stable during the reaction in the Pt/ZnO-rod sample. The cubic Ni0.75–Zn0.25 structure identified in the Ni/ZnO-rod sample was transformed to Zn0.1–Ni0.9–O and metallic Ni phases, respectively. On the bimetallic PtNi/ZnO-rod sample, the cubic Ni0.75–Zn0.25 structure remained, although the tetragonal NiZn structure is unstable and was destroyed during the ASRM reaction and then a new phase of Ni0.7Pt0.3 emerged. The promotion effect of Pt and/or Ni on the ZnO-rod was clearly shown. PtZn and NiZn alloys on ZnO-1D samples were evaluated in the ASRM. Bifunctional behavior between PtZn, NiZn alloys and the ZnO were reported. The ZnO provides the adsorption sites for the reagents and the alloy particles facilitate the H2 transfer.![]()

The Promoting Effect of Ni on Glycerol Hydrogenolysis to 1,2-Propanediol with In Situ Hydrogen from Methanol Steam Reforming Using a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 Catalyst. Catalysts 2019.

Abstract
Production of green chemicals using a biomass derived feedstock is of current interest. Among the processes, the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) using externally supplied molecular hydrogen has been studied quite extensively. The utilization of methanol present in crude glycerol from biodiesel production can avoid the additional cost for molecular hydrogen storage and transportation, as well as reduce the safety risks due to the high hydrogen pressure operation. Recently the hydrogenolysis of glycerol with a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst using in situ hydrogen generated from methanol steam reforming in a liquid phase reaction has been reported. This paper focusses on the effect of added Ni on the activity of a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst prepared by an oxalate gel-co-precipitation method for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol using methanol as a hydrogen source. It is found that Ni reduces the conversion of glycerol but improves the selectivity to 1,2-PD, while a higher conversion of methanol is observed. The promoting effect of Ni on the selectivity to 1,2-PD is attributed to the slower dehydration of glycerol to acetol coupled with a higher availability of in situ hydrogen produced from methanol steam reforming and the higher hydrogenation activity of Ni towards the intermediate acetol to produce 1,2-PD.

Abstract
This Review describes recent advances in the design, synthesis, reactivity, selectivity, structural, and electronic properties of the catalysts for reforming of a variety of oxygenates (e.g., from simple monoalcohols to higher polyols, then to sugars, phenols, and finally complicated mixtures like bio-oil). A comprehensive exploration of the structure-activity relationship in catalytic reforming of oxygenates is carried out, assisted by state-of-the-art characterization techniques and computational tools. Critical emphasis has been given on the mechanisms of these heterogeneous-catalyzed reactions and especially on the nature of the active catalytic sites and reaction pathways. Similarities and differences (reaction mechanisms, design and synthesis of catalysts, as well as catalytic systems) in the reforming process of these oxygenates will also be discussed. A critical overview is then provided regarding the challenges and opportunities for research in this area with a focus on the roles that systems of heterogeneous catalysis, reaction engineering, and materials science can play in the near future. This Review aims to present insights into the intrinsic mechanism involved in catalytic reforming and provides guidance to the development of novel catalysts and processes for the efficient utilization of oxygenates for energy and environmental purposes.
