The hydrogen production by the catalytic partial oxidation of methanol (POM) over rare earth oxide (RE = La, Dy, Gd, and Ce)-modified ZnO-supported silver catalysts, as well as silver supported on Ce1–xGdxOy-modified ZnO catalysts, was investigated. The effect of the temperature on the activity was studied in the range between 150 and 400 °C, and the catalyst stability was monitored with time-on-stream (TOS). The addition of rare earth metal oxide promoters resulted in a significant improvement in the catalytic performance. The optimal performance in methanol oxidation was achieved using AgCe20Zn, which exhibited a hydrogen selectivity of 90.8% with 95.2% methanol conversion at 350 °C; however, the catalyst suffered from marked deactivation with TOS. The good stability of the Ag/ZnO catalyst was verified using a gadolinium promoter. Doping of the AgCe20Zn catalyst by Gd greatly enhanced its life span over at least 24 h on-stream and markedly reduced the CO content (down to <1%). X-ray diffraction analysis...
