ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a catalyst for a partial oxidation reforming reaction of fuel in the form of disk having through-hole. In addition, according to the invention, there is provided a fuel reforming apparatus and method using the catalyst. The catalyst for a partial oxidation reforming reaction of fuel according to the invention makes it possible to progress the partial oxidation reforming reaction of fuel smoothly, to improve the efficiency when reforming the fuel and to simplify the fuel reforming reactor. According to the fuel reforming apparatus and method, since the heat of reaction is efficiently controlled and used, a simple on-off operation, reduction of starting time and a stable operational condition are accomplished, which are indispensably required for a fuel reforming system in fuel cells, such as household, portable and car fuel cells.
