Novel catalysts, substantially free of Cu and Zn, useful for the reformation of methanol and steam into Hfor use in hydrogen fuel cells and their use are described herein.

Methanol steam reforming catalysts

Aspects of the invention relate to a base metal catalyst composition effective to catalyze the abatement of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides under both rich and lean engine operating conditions comprising a support including at least 10% by weight of reducible ceria doped with up to about 60% by weight of one or more of oxides selected from the group Al, Pr, Sm, Zr, Y, Si, Ti and La; and a base metal oxide on the reducible ceria support, the base metal selected from one or more of Ni, Fe, Mn, Cu, Co, Ba, Mg, Ga, Ca, Sr, V, W, Bi and Mo, the base metal catalyst composition effective to promote a steam reforming reaction of hydrocarbons and a water gas shift reaction to provide Has a reductant to abate NOx. Other aspects of the invention relate to methods of using and making such catalysts.

Base metal catalyst and method of using same

Aspects of the invention relate to a method of treating a gas stream generated by a motorcycle, the method comprising: contacting a gas stream containing hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides and generated by a motorcycle under both rich and lean engine operating conditions with a base metal catalyst composition, thereby removing at least a part of the hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides in gas stream. The base metal catalyst composition comprises a support including at least 10% by weight of reducible ceria, and about 3 to about 7 wt % MnO and about 8 to about 22 wt % CuO on the reducible ceria support. The base metal catalyst composition is effective to promote a steam reforming reaction of hydrocarbons and a water gas shift reaction to provide Has a reductant to abate NOx.
