Check out articles/research on Reformed Exhaust Gas Recirculation (REGR) - this is a means to make syngas (H2 rich gas) from diesel exhaust reacted with a small amount of fresh fuel, that is then mixed into the intake air.

Though I appreciate this is not a homebrew level bit of tech, I am looking into a catalyst that could make syngas/hydrogen in a more low-tech way.

What I really like with these sort of approaches is that some of the waste heat is (in an indirect way) being utilised to improve the chemistry.
