Catalysis for H2 Production

This lecture covers the catalytic processes involved in hydrogen production, focusing on partial oxidation and catalytic partial oxidation. It discusses the use of different catalysts, such as transition metals and noble metals, and their impact on temperature reduction. The lecture also explores the mechanisms of catalytic partial oxidation and the effects of promoters and supports on catalyst performance. Additionally, it delves into the challenges of catalyst deactivation due to carbon formation and the importance of structured catalysts in managing reaction hotspots.
