In the realm of hydrogen production for fuel cell applications, H2 must be refined to ultra-high purity levels essential for the functionality of fuel cells. Various methods are available for removing trace contaminants from effluent gas streams, falling into the broad categories of adsorption, membranes, scrubbers, and selective reactions. Preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO-PROX) plays a pivotal role in ensuring the purity of hydrogen-rich gases. This catalytic process selectively removes CO impurities, typically requiring reduction to concentrations below 0.001%, thereby enabling the supply of high-purity H2 to fuel cells. While much existing research utilizes idealized conditions and simulated reformate gas compositions for evaluating novel CO-PROX catalyst materials, it tends to somewhat overlook the real operational factors (water vapor and carbon dioxide), reactor design, and mass/heat transfer. Unlike the singular improvement of catalytic performance under ideal experimental conditions, the practical application of CO-PROX necessitates consideration of unavoidable factors, such as the upstream hydrogen source and the downstream anode tolerance of fuel cell. It is also imperative to design an optimized CO-PROX reactor that takes into account realistic operating conditions. This comprehensive review delves into the multifaceted aspects of CO-PROX, mainly focusing on the impact of water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and other practical operational considerations. The analysis encompasses their inhibitory and promotional effects on CO-PROX reactions. In addition, we summarize and suggest possible strategies for enhancing CO-PROX tolerance in this work. The catalytic performance can be augmented by modulating the reaction temperature and the feed atmosphere, and catalyst could be activated through pre-treatment with specific atmosphere. High-tolerability CO-PROX catalysts can be developed by meticulously selecting appropriate supports and active-sites. Furthermore, several studies have successfully elevated the reaction performance by integrating insights from other research disciplines. Thereby, this review serves as a valuable reference bridging fundamental research with practical engineering applications within the CO-PROX domain.
