Abstract
Fuel cell technology has been developed by different US government agencies. One of the most significant challenges for the development of fuel cell systems for a practical application is a safe hydrogen source. Hydrogen has a serious problem for real applications such as transportation and storage issues. On-site reforming hydrocarbon fuel is being considered for many demonstration hydrogen fueling stations in the world and is considered a promising option in lieu of hydrogen transportation and storage. Ethanol is a widely available and safe "alternative fuel" and the supply chain is already in place, and it is easier to work with for consumers. Developing materials that enable advanced reformed ethanol fuel cell technology will significantly impact commercial applications, accelerating product development, particularly for lightweight power devices. Use of ethanol as a fuel in fuel cell systems has the potential to lower the cost and improve safety. With the understanding, hydrogen production from reforming of ethanol is considered a promising renewable hydrogen source. The reformation reaction for conversion of ethanol to hydrogen as a fuel for fuel cell systems will be pr
