摘要
Microstructured reactors are being developed at IMM for the processing of various fuels to provide hydrogen for mobile and portable fuel-cell systems. The key feature of the systems is the integrated-plate heat-exchanger technology, which allows for thermal integration of several functions in a single device. For example, steam reforming may be coupled with exothermic reactions in separate flow-paths of a heat exchanger. Catalyst coatings are also under development for numerous reactions, such as propane steam reforming, methanol steam reforming, catalytic combustion, water-gas shift, and preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide. These catalysts are being investigated in specially developed testing reactors. Reactors and complete fuel processors are being tested up to 5 kW power output of the corresponding fuel cell.
