Abstract

The present invention relates to a structured catalyst for reforming of gasoline and a method of preparing the same, more particularly to a structured catalyst for reforming of gasoline for fuel-cell powered vehicles prepared by wash-coating the transition metal based reforming catalyst on the surface of the ceramic honeycomb support wash-coated with sub-micron sized alumina or its precursor to sufficiently increase the effective surface area and the performance of the catalyst and a method of preparing the same.
