Platinum Ceria WGS catalyst Nicholas DiPreta
PGM Catalysts • Non pyrophoric- does not deactivate in presence of oxygen or water- in fact, studies have shown that 1% oxygen presence decrease deactivation • high activity over a wide range of temperatures • excellent stability at high temperatures • Resistance to sulfur containing gases to about 10 ppm H₂S
Temperature Range Higher CO conversion percentage than CuZnO catalyst over wide range of temperatures (S. Swartz)
Life Time Fuelcellmaterials.com reviewed next tech’s high temperature Pt/Ce catalyst and observed little loss in CO conversion % over 300 hrs continuous run time @ 400 C.
Life Time Very little degredation over time. Little to no regeneration period needed. As opposed to Cu-Zn-Al which reduce to about ½ co conversion % within 10 hrs (w/o regeneration) [Kim et al. 2005]
Cost/ Forms • Regardless of form, the cost for Pt/ceria based catalyst is about 10$/g. • Comes in powder and pellet form from nextechmaterials.com • Only 100-150 mg needed per one test according to S. Swartz of Nextech materials
