Hydrogen production by steam reforming of ethylene glycol (EG) at 300 ℃ was investigated over SiO2 and CeO2 supported Pt-Ni bimetallic catalysts prepared by incipient wetness impregnation methods.It was observed that impregnation sequence of Pt and Ni can affect the performance of catalysts apparently.Catalyst with Pt first and then Ni addition showed higher EG conversion and H2 yield owing to the Ni enrichment on the surface and the proper interaction between Pt and Ni.It was observed that although SiOa supported catalysts exhibited better activity and H2 selectivity,CeO2 supported ones had better stability.This is attributed to the less coke formation on CeO2.Increasing Pt/Ni ratio enhanced the reaction activity,and Pt3-Ni7 catalysts with 3 wt％ Pt and 7 wt％ Ni showed the highest activity and stability.Ni surficial enrichment facilitated the C—C bond rupture and water gas shift reactions;and Pt addition inhibited methanation reaction.Electron transfer and hydrogen spillover from Pt to Ni suppressed carbon deposition.These combined effects lead to the excellent performance of Pt3-Ni7 supported catalysts.
