12 Claims

1. A method for manufacturing a catalyst for hydrogen production based on thermochemical reaction of methanol, the method for manufacturing the catalyst comprising:

providing a support component, wherein the support component comprises cement and clay, and a weight ratio of the cement to the clay is 3/7 to 9/1;

performing a shaping step, wherein the support component and water are mixed and shaped to obtain a support precursor;

providing an active component directly after performing the shaping step, wherein the active component is distributed on a surface of the support precursor, and the active component comprises copper oxide or a precursor of copper oxide;

performing a drying step, wherein the water in the support precursor is removed; and

performing a thermal treatment step, wherein the support precursor is sintered to form a support, so as to obtain the catalyst.
