Low-Cost Catalysts for the Water Gas Shift Reaction Based on Cu–Ni on La-Promoted Ceria

Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells are of great interest for vehicular applications. A highly pure, sustainably obtained H2 stream is desirable to use as the cell feed. In the water gas shift (WGS) process, large amounts of CO, which is a poison for the cell anode, are removed from a bioalcohol-der...

description Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells are of great interest for vehicular applications. A highly pure, sustainably obtained H2 stream is desirable to use as the cell feed.
