Abstract: Methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production over metal wall-coated PdZn/Al2O3/FeCrAl catalyst was investigated in a stainless steel microreformer. The results showed that the methanol conversion of 100%, selectivity of 99% to H2, outlet CO molar fraction of 0.5%, and high stability were achieved over the PdZn/Al2O3/FeCrAl catalyst under the reaction conditions of 350 ℃, methanol GHSV of 1.600 L/(g·h), and H2O/methanol molar ratio of 1.2.
