Emerging trends in hydrogen and synfuel generation: a state-of-the-art review.

The current work investigated emerging fields for generating and consuming hydrogen and synthetic Fischer-Tropsch (FT) fuels, especially from detrimental greenhouse gases, CO and CH. Technologies for syngas generation ranging from partial oxidation, auto-thermal, dry, photothermal and wet or steam reforming of methane were adequately reviewed alongside biomass valorisation for hydrogen generation, water electrolysis and climate challenges due to methane flaring, production, storage, transportation, challenges and opportunities in CO and CH utilisation. Under the same conditions, dry reforming produces more coke than steam reforming.

Tailoring the Properties of Metal Oxide Loaded/KCC-1 toward a Different Mechanism of CO Methanation by in Situ IR and ESR.

Nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and zinc (Zn) loaded on fibrous silica KCC-1 was investigated for CO methanation reactions. Ni/KCC-1 exhibits the highest catalyst performance with a CH formation rate of 33.02 × 10 mol mol s, 1.
