Abstract

Supported Rh catalysts have been developed for selective H₂ production at low temperatures. Ethanol dehydration is favorable over either acidic or basic supports such as γ-Al₂O₃ and MgAl₂O₄, while ethanol dehydrogenation is more favorable over neutral supports. CeO₂-ZrO₂-supported Rh catalysts were found to be especially effective for hydrogen production. We focused on a support prepared by a co-precipitation method having composition Ce _0.8Zr_0.2O₂. A 2%Rh/Ce_0.8Zr _0.2O₂ catalyst, prepared via impregnation without pre-calcination of support, exhibited the highest H₂ yield at 450°C among various supported Rh catalysts evaluated in this study. This may be due to both the strong interaction between Rh and Ce_0.8Zr _0.2O₂ and the high oxygen transfer rate favoring reforming of acetaldehyde instead of methane production.
