Internal reforming, SOFC

In this work, the catalytic reforming of CH4 by CO2 over Ni based catalysts was investigated to develop a high performance anode catalyst for application in an internal reforming SOFC system. The prepared catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR).
