The use of hydrogen for energy generation has attracted significant attention in recent years as a clean, sustainable, and transportable alternative fuel, and this interest has consequently sparked a rapid global development of hydrogen fuel cells for electric power generation. Catalytic reformation of hydrocarbons, with careful attention to avoid storage and safety issues, is currently the predominant process for hydrogen generation. One of the leading and most promising techniques for hydrogen generation is catalytic reformation of methanol. The research was conducted at the NSRRC beamline BL17C1.
