## Description

- description: 'Metallic honeycomb catalysts are promising candidates for fuel cell
    and small-scale onsite hydrogen production applications. In this study, high-cell-density
    Ni honeycomb catalysts coated with a series of bimetallic surface layers were
    synthesized. Their catalytic performance for CH4 steam reforming was investigated
    under a low steam-to-carbon ratio of 1.36 and a gas hourly space velocity of 6400
    h-1 in the temperature range of 400–700℃. The catalysts coated with Ni-Mg and
    Ni-Zr showed excellent catalytic performance, reaching a high CH4 conversion and
    CO selectivity close to the equilibrium values within the test temperature range.
    The enhanced catalytic performance of the Ni-Mg and Ni-Zr coatings was attributed
    to the formation of oxide-supported fine Ni particles. In contrast, the catalysts
    coated with Ni-Fe and Ni-Sn exhibited an extremely low activity, which was lower
    than that of the catalyst coated with only Ni. The low activity of the Ni-Fe and
    Ni-Sn coatings is supposed to be due to the formation of aggregated Ni3Fe, Ni3Sn,
    and Ni3Sn2 phases. '
