Catalytic Properties of TiNi Foils for Methanol Decomposition

Abstract:

The catalytic properties of the cold-rolled foils of intermetallic compound TiNi were studied for hydrogen production from methanol in a temperature range of 513-793 K. The catalytic activity for methanol decomposition increased with a reaction temperature, especially above 673 K. The SEM and EDS analyses revealed the formation of numerous Ni-enriched particles dispersed in the layer of carbon fibers during the reaction. The catalytic activity of TiNi foils is attributed to those Ni-enriched particles.
