Abstract
A catalyst composition for manufacturing a catalyst for hydrogen production based on thermochemical reaction of methanol is disclosed. The catalyst composition includes a support component and an active component. The support component includes cement and clay, wherein a weight ratio of the cement to the clay is 3/7 to 9/1. The active component includes copper oxide or a precursor of copper oxide. Based on 100 parts by weight of the support component, a content of the active component is 5 to 10 parts by weight.
Claims12
A method for manufacturing a catalyst for hydrogen production based on thermochemical reaction of methanol, the method for manufacturing the catalyst comprising:
- providing a support component, wherein the support component comprises cement and clay, and a weight ratio of the cement to the clay is 3/7 to 9/1;
- performing a shaping step, wherein the support component and water are mixed and shaped to obtain a support precursor;
- providing an active component directly after performing the shaping step, wherein the active component is distributed on a surface of the support precursor, and the active component comprises copper oxide or a precursor of copper oxide;
- performing a drying step, wherein the water in the support precursor is removed;
- and
- performing a thermal treatment step, wherein the support precursor is sintered to form a support, so as to obtain the catalyst.
