Cu_0.7Mn_0.3Al_2.5 ternary solid solution spinel catalysts were prepared by ball milling method using copper nitrate as the copper source, proposed thin alumina as the aluminium source, citric acid as the additive, and manganese acetate as the third component to partially replace copper. With the help of characterisation techniques such as XRD, BET, H₂?TPR and XPS, the crystalline phase structure, weaving properties, reducing properties and surface cation states and distributions of Cu_0.7Mn_0.3Al_2.5 were investigated. The catalytic performance of Cu_0.7Mn_0.3Al_2.5 in methanol steam reforming (MSR) for hydrogen production with a sustained release feature was scrutinized, and a comparison was made with CuAl_2.5 binary spinel and Cu_0.7Zn_0.3Al_2.5 ternary spinel catalysts. The results showed that compared with CuAl_2.5 and Cu_0.7Zn_0.3Al_2.5, the Cu_0.7Mn_0.3Al_2.5 exhibited the maximum contraction of the unit cell, resulting in a smaller unit cell constant. The catalyst had smaller crystalline size and higher specific surface area. The catalyst showed an aluminium?rich state, but with a higher percentage of Cu in the surface spinel phase, which made the reduction under H₂ atmosphere more difficult, and exhibited a better slow?release catalytic performance in MSR hydrogen production. Under the conditions of a reaction temperature of 265 °C, n（H₂O）/n（CH₃OH） =2, and mass flow rate of 2.25 h^-1, a stable conversion rate of 84% was achieved for 40 hours. The study provided valuable data reference for the development of efficient copper?based sustained?release catalysts.

CeO₂?X (X is the hydrothermal synthesis time, X=3, 6, 12, 24 h) carriers were prepared by varying the hydrothermal synthesis time using Ce(NO₃)₃·6H₂O and urea as raw materials, and CuO/CeO₂?X catalysts were obtained by isovolumetric impregnation with active component Cu, which were applied to methanol steam reforming (MSR) reaction. The effects of hydrothermal synthesis time on the structure and physicochemical properties of the prepared CeO₂?X carriers and CuO/CeO₂?X catalysts were explored by XRD, BET, H₂?TPR.The performances of the CuO/CeO₂?X catalyst samples were evaluated in methanol steam reforming(MSR) reaction.The results show that the CuO/CeO₂?6 has good catalytic activity. At the reaction temperature of 280 °C, when the molar ratio of water to methanol was 1.2, and the space velocity of methanol vapor (GHSV) was 800 h^-1, the methanol conversion rate could reach 92.8%.

SiO₂?CeO₂ carriers were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method,and CuO?SiO₂?CeO₂ catalysts were synthesized by impregnation method with active component CuO.The carriers and catalysts were characterized by XRD,BET and H₂?TPR methods.The effects of the addition amount of SiO₂ for the specific surface area of the catalyst and the catalytic performance of the catalysts in methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production were also investigated.The obtained results indicated that appropriate addition of SiO₂ can increase the specific surface area of the support and catalyst,reduce reduction temperature of the active component CuO,and increase the conversion rate of CH₃OH.When the amount of SiO₂ is 2.5%,the specific surface area of CuO5.0%?SiO₂2.5%?CeO₂ is 112.8 m²/g,and the conversion rate of CH₃OH is 75.1%.Both of the specific surface of the catalyst and the conversion rate of CH₃OH will decrease with the content of SiO₂ continue to improving in the catalyst.
