Abstract: Glycerol steam reforming represents a pivotal technological pathway for the value-added utilization of glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, and for the generation of green hydrogen. The industrial application of this reaction centers on the development of catalysts that exhibit high activity, high selectivity, and superior stability. This paper systematically reviews recent research progress in catalyst design for hydrogen production by glycerol steam reforming, focusing on the three key aspects: active metals, supports, and promoters. It provides an in-depth analysis of the construction of catalyst active sites, metal-support interactions, and the regulatory mechanisms for enhancing resistance to coking and sintering. Finally, it analyzes the theoretical and technical challenges currently facing catalyst design and outlines future development directions.

Key words: glycerol, hydrogen production, steam reforming, catalyst design
