Abstract
A catalyst for a reformer of a fuel cell system, a reformer for a fuel cell system including the catalyst, and a fuel cell system including the reformer are provided. The reformer includes a first reacting region that generates heat energy through oxidation of fuel and includes an oxidation catalyst having a Pd catalyst supported by an Al2O3 carrier and a Pt catalyst supported by an Al2O3 carrier, and a second reacting region that generates hydrogen gas from the fuel through a reforming reaction by the heat energy. The reformer includes at least two pipes each having an independent internal space and letting the fuel containing hydrogen pass therethrough.
