The reaction between a biomass (cellulose, sucrose, glucose, starch, cotton, or Japanese paper) and NaOH in the presence of water vapor produced pure hydrogen without CO and CO 2 at temperatures in the range 473–623K. The addition of Ni/Al 2 O 3 or Rh/Al 2 O 3 catalyst to cellulose enhanced the production of hydrogen at <573 K. The reaction between cellulose and NaOH can be written as: C 6 H 10 O 5 + 12NaOH + H 2 O = 6Na 2 CO 3 + 12H 2 . The reactivities of alkali metal hydroxides were: KOH > NaOH ≫ LiOH.
