ABSTRACT:
A molten carbonate high temperature fuel cell contains a hydrocarbon-containing fuel reforming catalyst on a support, where the catalyst is produced by reducing a catalyst precursor which is prepared by intimately mixing a defined Feitnecht compound with a non-calcined alumino-silicate clay mineral and at the same time and/or subsequently but prior to calcination with at least one added stabilizing additive for reducing silicon-species loss selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metal compounds, rare earth metal compounds and mixtures thereof, and, optionally, an alkali metal compound, and thereafter calcining the intimate mixture, wherein the catalyst has been found to be suitable for the steam reforming of methane at the working temperature of the molten carbonate fuel cell and has been found to be substantially resistant to deactivation in the hot alkali metal carbonate environment.
