Patents by Inventor Ho-Chen Hsieh

Ho-Chen Hsieh has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10017385
    Abstract: The present invention provides a catalyst composition for producing hydrogen and preparation method and use thereof, wherein the catalyst composition comprises a catalytic component and a supporter having a pyrochlore structure. By using the catalyst composition of the present invention, carbon deposition can be reduced and the oxidative steam reforming of ethanol could be operated for a long period of time with high ethanol conversion rate and selectivity of hydrogen.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9623400
    Abstract: The present invention provides a catalyst for producing hydrogen and a preparing method thereof. The method includes the steps of adding a first metal source, a second metal source, a third metal source and a cerium source into a first organic solvent containing a surfactant to form a colloidal mixture, wherein a metal of the first metal source is a Group IIIB metal; a metal of the second metal source is selected from the group consisting of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and Group IIIB metals, and a metal of the third metal source is a transition metal; calcining the colloidal mixture to form a metal solid solution; and allowing the metal solid solution to be carried on a carrier to obtain the catalyst. When the catalyst of the present invention is used for an ethanol oxidation reformation, the reaction temperature of the ethanol oxidation reformation can be significantly decreased.
