Electric current enhanced catalytic steam reforming of toluene, which was selected as the model compound of biomass gasification tar, was performed by a fixed-bed electrochemical catalytic steam reforming experimental set using the Ni-CeO2/SBA-15 catalyst. Experiments were performed to reveal the effects of several factors on the toluene conversion and product gas composition, including the electric current intensity, reaction temperature and steam/carbon (S/C) ratio. Moreover, stability test of the catalyst was conducted over a long experimental period. The results indicated that the presence of the electric current enhanced the catalytic activity remarkably. The toluene conversion reached as high as 94.7% under the electric current of 4 A, temperature of 800 °C and S/C ratio of 3.
