Diamond-supported metal catalyst: a novel medium for hydrogen production from methanol decomposition
Oxidized diamond-supported Ni catalysts gave the best performance among the oxidized diamond-supported various metal catalysts for the decomposition of methanol to synthesis gas. Ni (5 wt%)/oxidized diamond afforded 82.5% conversion of methanol to give a CO to H-2 ratio of 1.7 at 573 K.
