Experimental and optimization studies of hydrogen production by steam methane reforming over lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite supported Ni catalyst

Over the years, research focused has been on the development of active and stable catalysts for hydrogen (H2) production by steam methane reforming (SMR). However, there is less attention on the individual and interaction effect of key process parameters that influence the catalytic performance of s...
