Nickel (Ni)-lignin nanocomposites were synthesized from nickel nitrate and kraft lignin then catalytically graphitized to few-layer graphene-encapsulated nickel nanoparticles (Ni@G). Ni@G nanoparticles were used for catalytic decomposition of methane (CDM) to produce COx-free hydrogen and graphene nanoplatelets. Ni@G showed high catalytic activity for methane decomposition at temperatures of 800 to 900 °C and exhibited long-term stability of 600 min time-on-stream (TOS) without apparent deactivation. The catalytic stability may be attributed to the nickel dispersion in the Ni@G sample. During the CDM reaction process, graphene shells over Ni@G nanoparticles were cracked and peeled off the nickel cores at high temperature. Both the exposed nickel nanoparticles and the cracked graphene shells may participate the CDM reaction, making Ni@G samples highly active for CDM reaction. The vacancy defects and edges in the cracked graphene shells serve as the active sites for methane decomposition. The edges are continuously regenerated by methane molecules through CDM reaction.

Abstract: A growing interest in hydrogen use has been observed due to its environmentally friendlycharacteristics. However, the current methods of hydrogen production from natural gas are based on steammethane reforming, partial oxidation, and autothermal reforming. These processes produce a mixture ofhydrogen and carbon oxides and after water-gas shift reactions, in order to increase the production ofhydrogen, a large amount of CO2 is generated and possibly released in the atmosphere. In this context, thecatalytic methane decomposition has been receiving attention as an alternative route to the production ofCOx-free hydrogen. It has been reported that the appropriate group of catalysts and reactors can lead to aviable process. Current investigations attempt to increase the yield of hydrogen. The present work aims toevaluate the processes currently used for that and to present the preliminary results obtained with cobaltcatalysts for methane decomposition. A comparison between the conventional processes and the suggestedones is made, and the major advantages in the use of methane decomposition are presented.
