Steam reforming of toluene as a model biomass tar for hydrogen production was investigated using Ni/LSAO perovskite catalyst. We investigated the role of metal and support in catalytic performance on steam reforming of toluene over Ni/LSAO catalyst. By varying calcination temperature for supported Ni and heat treatment temperature for LSAO support, we revealed that the interface between Ni and LSAO functioned as a place for release of lattice oxygen of support and this lattice oxygen contributed to coke removal. Perimeter of Ni particle (Ni particle size) and surface area (crystallite size) of LSAO support at the interface had an important factor for release rate of lattice oxygen.
