Research of Hydrogen Production by Dimethyl Ether Reforming in Fuel Cells

Dimethyl ether is a kind of clean fuel, which is expected to replace traditional fuel to achieve high efficiency and low emission.The research of hydrogen production by vehicle dimethyl ether reforming is imminent.This article summarizes and comments the progress of hydrogen production by dimethyl ether reforming, briefly analyzing new method of preparing catalyst.Three existing methods for hydrogen from dimethyl ether, namely steam reforming, autothermal reforming and partial oxidation reforming, are introduced.In this paper, recent researches in the field of hydrogen from dimethyl ether are reviewed.
