Enhanced phenol steam reforming for selective hydrogen production using nickel modified bimetallic zinc titanate nanocomposite

Highly reducible Ni/TiO2 modified ZnTiO3 composite was synthesized through hydrothermal approach and tested through phenol steam reforming (PSR) for hydrogen production. The activity tests were conducted in a continuous flow reactor to determine the effect of bi-metal modified ZnTiO3 support on PSR...
