Thermostable catalysts for oxidation of hydrogen based on ZrO$_{2}$–Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanocomposite

The catalytic properties of nanocomposite materials based on ZrO$_{2}$–Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ system in a wide range of temperatures and thermal cycling conditions were investigated. It is shown that the catalyst is comparable with the best industrial Pt / Pd catalyst for the oxidation of hydrogen, and is better in some aspects.
