A Novel Desulfurizer-Catalyst Combination for Logistic Fuel Reforming

Abstract

Many different approaches will be required to provide the warfighter with a full spectrum of power and energy solutions. One of the more promising of these is fuel cell technology. However, some of the major hurdles for fuel cells to clear include developing suitable hydrogen-rich fuels to sustain them and being able to produce these fuels in both an efficient and environmentally-friendly manner. This article is a summary of leading edge research in the development of new catalytic materials to enhance the production of the needed fuels. This state-of-the-art work was performed by Dr. Abdul-Majeed Azad and his graduate student Desikan Sundararajan of the University of Toledo.
