Dry reforming of methane (DRM) was studied in the light of Ni supported on 8%PO4 + ZrO2 catalysts. Cerium was used to modify the Ni active metal. Different percentage loadings of Ce (1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, and 5%) were tested. The wet incipient impregnation method was used for the preparation of all catalysts. The catalysts were activated at 700 °C for ½ h. The reactions were performed at 800 °C using a gas hourly space velocity of 28,000 mL (h·gcat)−1. X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), temperature programmed oxidation (TPO), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used for characterizing the catalysts. The TGA analysis depicted minor amounts of carbon deposition. The CO2-TPD results showed that Ce enhanced the basicity of the catalysts. The 3% Ce loading possessed the highest surface area, the largest pore volume, and the greatest pore diameter. All the promoted catalysts enhanced the conversions of CH4 and CO2. Among the promoted catalysts tested, the 10Ni + 3%Ce/8%PO4 + ZrO2 catalyst system operated at 1 bar and at 800 °C gave the highest conversions of CH4 (95%) and CO2 (96%). The stability profile of Cerium-modified catalysts (10%Ni/8%PO4 + ZrO2) depicted steady CH4 and CO2 conversions during the 7.5 h time on stream.

Exsolution is emerging as a promising route for the creation of nanoparticles that remain anchored to the oxide support, imparting remarkable stability in high temperature chemical processes such as dry reforming of methane. This process takes place at temperatures around 850 °C, which causes sintering-related issues in catalysts prepared using conventional impregnation methods, which could be overcome by using exsolution functionalized oxides. In this work, FeNi3 alloy nanoparticles exsolved from Sr2FexNi1-xMoO6-δ double-layered perovskites were evaluated as a dry reforming catalyst, paying special attention to structure–activity relationships. Our results indicate that increasing the Ni content favors the nanoparticle dispersion, eventually leading to increased CO2 and CH4 conversions. The exsolved nanoparticles presented remarkable nanoparticle size (ca. 30 nm) stability after the 10 h treatment, although the formation of some phase segregations over the course of the reaction caused a minor decrease in the nanoparticle population. Overall, the results presented here serve as materials processing guidelines that could find further potential use in the design of more efficient (electro)catalysts in other fuel production or energy conversion technologies.

Abstract. Platinum catalysts (1.5 wt. %) supported over CeO2 and γ-Al2O3 were synthesized via wet impregnation using two different Pt precursors: H2PtCl6 and Pt(acac)2. Catalysts were tested in the dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction at stoichiometric conditions (CH4/CO2 molar ratio of 1) with two approaches: as a function of temperature (400-800 °C) and as a function of time on-stream (800 °C / 24 h). Platinum supported over ceria catalysts showed better catalytic properties, especially in the stability tests, where deactivation was almost negligible. In contrast, alumina-supported catalysts stability was considerably lower due to the increased formation of carbon residues and the significant Pt particle sintering after reaction at 800 °C for 24 h. Through different characterization techniques (TEM, CO chemisorption), a strong Pt-Ceria interaction was evidenced, which helped in preventing Pt particle agglomeration under reaction conditions and promoted active interface sites. Both features are proposed to be responsible for the Pt/CeO2 catalysts better catalytic performance. The effect of the Pt precursor depends on the nature of the support. In ceria, Cl species benefited the generation of oxygen vacancies and surface ceria reducibility; both features are responsible for the Pt/CeO2 anti-coke properties, thus impacting positively in the catalytic performance of the Pt(-cl)/Ce sample. Conversely, in alumina, these Cl species triggered particle sintering and carbon deposition during the DRM reaction, affecting the Pt(-cl)/Al catalytic performance.                                                Resumen. Catalizadores de platino (1.5 % en peso) soportados sobre CeO2 y γ-Al2O3 fueron sintetizados mediante impregnación húmeda utilizando dos diferentes precursores de Pt: H2PtCl6 and Pt(acac)2. Los catalizadores fueron evaluados en la reacción de reformado seco de metano (DRM) en condiciones estequiométricas (razón molar de CH4/CO2 igual a 1) y con dos metodologías: en función de la temperatura de reacción (400-800 °C) y en función del tiempo de reacción (800 °C / 24 h). Los catalizadores de platino soportados sobre ceria mostraron las mejores propiedades catalíticas, especialmente en las pruebas de estabilidad, donde la desactivación fue muy baja. Por el contrario, la estabilidad catalítica de las muestras soportadas en alúmina fue considerablemente menor, debido tanto a la formación de residuos de carbón como al sinterizado de partículas de Pt. Por medio diferentes técnicas de caracterización (TEM, Quimisorción de CO), se evidenció una fuerte interacción Pt-Ceria, la cual ayudó a prevenir la aglomeración de partículas de Pt durante la reacción, además de promover la generación de sitios activos interfaciales. Ambas características se proponen como las responsables de las mejores propiedades catalíticas presentadas por los catalizadores Pt/CeO2. El efecto del precursor del Pt depende de la naturaleza del soporte. En ceria, las especies de cloro beneficiaron la generación de sitios vacantes de oxígeno así como la reducción superficial de la ceria; ambas características son responsables de las propiedades anti-coque en el sistema Pt/CeO2, por lo tanto, estas impactaron positivamente en el desempeño catalítico de la muestra Pt(-cl)/Ce. Por el contrario, en la alúmina, estas especies cloradas aparentemente promovieron el sinterizado de partículas y los depósitos de carbono durante la reacción, lo cual afectó el desempeño catalítico de la muestra Pt(-cl)/Al.
