Abstract: Differing from the startup temperature of partial oxidation of butane (POB) reaction stimulated by conventional rhodium-based or nickel-based catalyst reaches 700° C. or above, the present invention particularly discloses a novel catalyst consisting of fluorite-type oxide support and Ni active metal for being applied in hydrogen production by low temperature partial oxidation of light hydrocarbon (POLH), so as to effectively reduce the startup temperature of the POLH reaction. In the present invention, the said light hydrocarbon means methane, ethane, propane, or butane. Moreover, a variety of experimental data have proved that this novel catalyst makes the startup temperature of POB reactions be lowered to 250° C. On the other hand, the experimental data have also proved that, the carbon deposition formed on the catalyst during POB reaction can be obviously improved after adding a few amount of platinum into the constituting ingredients of the novel catalyst.
