The results of the authors’ investigations of steam reforming of ethanol (SRE) on nanosized ferrites with spinel structure MFe2O4 (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) are summarized. The highest yields of the target product hydrogen were obtained on Mg, Mn, and Fe ferrites. A close to stoichiometric yield of H2 was obtained on nanosized MnFe2O4. A probable scheme for the mechanism of SRE, containing redox and acid–base stages, is proposed.
