CATALYST FOR REFORMING FUEL AND FUEL CELL SYSTEM COMPRISING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are a catalyst for reforming fuel which lowers the temperature and pressure of reformation reaction, improves the conversion rate of butane into hydrogen and enhances the lifetime and efficiency of a reformer and a fuel cell system by preventing the deterioration, and a fuel cell system containing the catalyst in a reformer. The catalyst comprises 100 parts by weight of a metal foam; and 0.5-20 parts by weight of at least one kind of active metal selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn), tin (Sn), ruthenium (Ru), aluminum (Al), platinum (Pt), silver (Au), palladium (Pd), copper (Cu), rhodium (Rh), zinc (Zn) and their alloys which is supported on the metal foam. Preferably the metal foam is porous, has a pore size of 400-1,200 ppi and comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, Ni, Cu, Ag and their alloys.
