| Abstract | The synthesis of mesoporous Ni–Cu bimetallic oxides supported over ZrO2 by the homogenous urea co-precipitation technique and its catalytic efficacy towards steam reforming of ethanol has been explored. The amount of NiO was kept constant and that of CuO was varied to obtain bimetallic supported oxides which were characterized using different techniques like N2 adsorption–desorption measurements, XRD, H2-TPR, ICP-OES, TGA and SEM analyses. The results were compared with those obtained by alkali coprecipitation. The oxides prepared by urea coprecipitation were found to exhibit a type IV isotherm and a characteristic H2 type hysteresis, while those prepared by alkali precipitation were found to be nonporous. The studies reveal that this facile route of urea-coprecipitation can generate mesoporosity in zirconia based compositions and because of its simplicity, it holds enormous potential as a soft-templating technique for large scale preparation. The surface area increased on introduction of Cu, exhibits maxima at 3% w/w CuO, and subsequently decrease at higher loadings. The reducibility and the metal support interactions were altered in the presence of Cu, which reflected on its improved catalytic activity towards steam reforming of ethanol. The introduction of Cu species enhances the water gas shift reaction and favors acetaldehyde decomposition and reforming over the ethanol dehydrogenation reaction, as indicated by the reduced levels of acetaldehyde in the product stream. On increasing the reforming temperature, H2 and CO2 selectivity and ethanol conversion increased significantly. Bimetallic oxides containing 3% w/w CuO were found to be most effective towards ethanol steam reforming, exhibiting complete ethanol conversion and 84% H2 selectivity at 600 °C, indicating their potential to be used as stable ESR catalysts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
