A reactor using honeycomb catalyst is provided for fuel reformation with high activity and heat stability. The reactor comprises a heating tube, a methane gas inlet, a three-way steam inlet and a hydrogen-rich gas outlet. The three-way steam inlet is near to the heating tube for providing heat required for reformation and to reduce power consumption. The heating tube is made of an inconel material so that the overall reaction may be carried out at high temperature. The heating tube is set with a honeycomb carrier of cordierite. The honeycomb carrier is pasted with carbon nanotube and heat-treated to increase internal surface area. The honeycomb carrier has a Pt/CeO/&#x3b1;-AlOcatalyst; is placed in the heating tube; and has honeycomb-pores channels parallel to a main axis of the heating tube.

Reactor with honeycomb catalyst for fuel reformation

A gas-reforming catalyst is modified to obtain stability in high temperature. The catalyst uses &#x3b1;-AlOas a carrier and is nano-porous. Hence, reaction surface is greatly broadened; and platinum contained inside does not become bigger after times of use. The catalyst does not deposit carbon and has long life. The stability of the catalyst can be still remained even at a temperature higher than 800&#xb0; C.

Method of modifying nano-porous gas-reforming catalyst with high-temperature stability

The present disclosure provides a gas reaction device. Reactions are happened on a fixed bed and/or a slurry bed in four reaction states. Thus, by using the four reaction states, reactions are thoroughly completed with the same catalyst. Or, different reactions are completed with different catalysts for different purposes.

Fuel cell electrodes are fabricated on electrode base substrates. The electrode substrates can be evenly and uniformly covered with electrocatalysts, which are supported on carbon nanomaterials, and ionomers by means of filtration and pressing. The electrodes can be used as anodes or cathodes for membrane fuel cells, such as DMFC and PEMFC.
