Abstract

The shortage of fossil fuels and the associated pollution problems during their combustion has attracted great attention towards the search of alternative fuels. Hydrogen gas is the most excellent alternative candidate, since it is an inherently clean fuel to form only water and is highly reactive so that excellent thermal efficiencies can be obtained. To realize the hydrogen energy society, we need much more efficient catalysts for hydrogen production, purification and storage processes than those we have now. In this lecture, I like to present three topics of our recent study employing ordered nanospace catalysts as follows;

(1) Preparation of ordered mesoporous CuO/CeO2 and their catalytic behavior in CO preferential oxidation and water gas shift reaction

(2)Marked role of mesopores for the prevention of Ni sintering and inactive carbon deposition in steam and dry reforming of methane over ordered mesoporous Ni-Mg-Al2O3 nanocomposites

(3)Noble hydrogen storage capacity of hollow silica nanospheres containing ultrafine Ir, Rh and Pt clusters
