title = "Efficient bimetallic catalysts for the autothermal reforming of diesel fuel",
abstract = "Fuel cell requires hydrogen as its fuel source for generating power. Hydrogen for use in auxiliary power units is produced in a fuel processor by the catalytic reforming of hydrocarbons. An analysis of the autothermal reforming (ATR) reactions performed on synthetic diesel fuel over different catalysts was carried out. ATR blended the endothermic and exothermic reactions in to a single unit. This system provided higher efficiency than other conventional processes and also a simple system design. Bimetallic catalysts exhibited superior performance compared to the commercial catalyst. A mechanism for this behavior is proposed. The presence of a second metal improved the performance of the ATR activity of Pt based catalysts supported on ceria and alumina. Higher intrinsic activity of these samples was possibly due to the interaction between these metals. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 3rd Topical Conference on Fuel Cell Technology at the 2004 AIChE National Spring Meeting (New Orleans, LA 4/25-29/2004).",
