Abstract

Gold catalyst for reforming and electrochemical oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels, methanol and methane, for application in the fuel cell industry. The gold catalyst is suitable for removal of impurities from the anodic fuel, by selective oxidation of the carbon monoxide. The active component of the catalyst is a complex which consists of gold and reducible oxide from the transition metals group. The concentration of the gold is from 0.1 % to 2.5 % and the concentration of the transition metal is from 0.1 % to 5 %. The support of the catalyst consists of oxides of ceria, zirconia and titanium. The working temperature of the catalyst is from ambient to 650 °C.

5. A gold catalyst according to the above claims, where the concentration of the ceria oxide could be from 30% to 70%, the titanium oxide from 5% to 25% and the zirconia oxide from 5% to 25%.
6. Use of gold catalyst according to claim 1 for oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels, methanol, methane and carbon monoxide at working temperatures from 0° to 650°.
7. Use of gold catalyst according to claim ,1, which is suitable for the reforming of methane.
8. Use of gold catalyst according to claim 1, for direct electrochemical oxidation of methanol.
9. Use of gold catalyst according to claim 1, suitable for selective oxidation of carbon monoxide impurities from the anodic fuel.
