Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is one of the most important processes allowing transformation of two most potent greenhouse gases into a synthesis gas. The CH4 and CO2 are converted at high temperatures in the presence of a metal catalyst (usually Ni, also promoted with noble metals, supported over various oxides). The DRM process is not widely used in the gas processing industry because of prompt deactivation of the catalyst owing to carbon deposition and the blockage of the metal active sites. This problem can be hindered by proper design of the catalyst in terms, e.g., of its composition and by providing strong interaction between active metal and catalytic support. The properties of the latter are also crucial for the catalyst’s performance in DRM and the occurrence of parallel reactions such as reverse water gas shift, CO2 deoxidation or carbon formation. In this paper we show for the first time the DRM performance of the ceria-zirconia and metal (Ni and/or Pt) supported on carbon fibres. The obtained Ni and Ni-Pt containing catalysts showed relatively high activity in the studied reaction and high resistance towards carbon deposition.

The conversion of CH4 and CO2 to syngas using low-cost nickel catalysts has attracted considerable interest in the clean energy and environment field. Nickel nanoparticles catalysts suffer from serious deactivation due mainly to carbon deposition. Here, we report a facile synthesis of Ni single-atom and nanoparticle catalysts dispersed on hydroxyapatite (HAP) support using the strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) method. Ni single-atom catalysts exhibit excellent resistance to carbon deposition and high atom efficiency with the highest reaction rate of 1186.2 and 816.5 mol.gNi−1.h−1 for CO2 and CH4, respectively. Although Ni single-atom catalysts aggregate quickly to large particles, the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-assisted synthesis exhibited a significant improvement of Ni single-atom stability. Characterizations of spent catalysts revealed that carbon deposition is more favorable over nickel nanoparticles. Interestingly, it was found that, separately, CH4 decomposition on nickel nanoparticle catalysts and subsequent gasification of deposit carbon with CO2 resulted in CO generation, which indicates that carbon is reacting as an intermediate species during reaction. Accordingly, the approach used in this work for the design and control of Ni single-atom and nanoparticles-based catalysts, for dry reforming of methane (DRM), paves the way towards the development of stable noble metals-free catalysts.

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) can effectively convert two greenhouse gases into high-valued chemicals, in which the syngas produced by the reaction can be directly used as raw gases for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis and methanol synthesis. Ni-based catalysts for the DRM reaction with comparable initial activity to noble metals are the focus of most researchers, but their poor carbon deposition resistance easily causes their low stability. More importantly, the nickel loading will affect the catalytic activity and carbon deposition resistance of the catalyst. Herein, a series of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts with bimodal pores was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 physical adsorption–desorption, H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), temperature programmed hydrogenation (TPH), Raman, and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The results show that the interesting bimodal structure catalysts could provide a high surface area and contribute to the mass transfer. Besides, the catalytic performance of the DRM reaction is sensitive to nickel loadings. In this study, the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst with nickel loadings of 6% and 8% exhibited excellent catalytic activity and carbon deposition resistance. These findings will provide a new strategy to design a highly efficient and stable heterogeneous catalyst for industry.

The dry reforming of methane is a promising technology for the abatement of CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub>. Solid solution Ni–La oxide catalysts are characterized by their long–term stability (100h) when tested at full conversion. The kinetics of dry reforming over this type of catalysts has been studied using both power law and Langmuir–Hinshelwood based approaches. However, these studies typically deal with fitting the net CH<sub>4</sub> rate hence disregarding competing and parallel surface processes and the different possible configurations of the active surface. In this work, we synthesized a solid solution Ni–La oxide catalyst and tested six Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanisms considering both single and dual active sites for assessing the kinetics of dry reforming and the competing reverse water gas shift reaction and investigated the performance of the derived kinetic models. In doing this, it was found that: (1) all the net rates were better fitted by a single–site model that considered that the first C–H bond cleavage in methane occurred over a <a>metal−oxygen </a>pair site; (2) this model predicted the existence of a nearly saturated nickel surface with chemisorbed oxygen adatoms derived from the dissociation of CO<sub>2</sub>; (3) the dissociation of CO<sub>2</sub> can either be an inhibitory or an irrelevant step, and it can also modify the apparent activation energy for CH<sub>4</sub> activation. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the dry reforming reaction's kinetics and provide a robust kinetic model for the design and scale–up of the process.

AbstractDry reforming of methane (DRM) is an attractive route to utilize CO2 as a chemical feedstock with which to convert CH4 into valuable syngas and simultaneously mitigate both greenhouse gases. Ni-based DRM catalysts are promising due to their high activity and low cost, but suffer from poor stability due to coke formation which has hindered their commercialization. Herein, we report that atomically dispersed Ni single atoms, stabilized by interaction with Ce-doped hydroxyapatite, are highly active and coke-resistant catalytic sites for DRM. Experimental and computational studies reveal that isolated Ni atoms are intrinsically coke-resistant due to their unique ability to only activate the first C-H bond in CH4, thus avoiding methane deep decomposition into carbon. This discovery offers new opportunities to develop large-scale DRM processes using earth abundant catalysts.

Samples were characterized by the XRD, XPS, XRF, FT-IR, H2-TPR, TEM, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, and TGA and were tested for the dry reforming of methane (DRM). TEM and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) methods were used to analyze the carbon deposition on spent catalysts after 200 h at 900 °C. At a temperature of 900 °C and a 1:1 CH4:CO2 ratio, the tri-metallic Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85La3+0.15O catalyst with a lanthanum promoter showed a higher conversion of CH4 (85.01%) and CO2 (98.97%) compared to the Ni,Pd,Pt/MgO catalysts in the whole temperature range. The selectivity of H2/CO decreased in the following order: Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85La3+0.15O > Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.93La3+0.07O > Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.97La3+0.03O > Ni,Pd,Pt/MgO. The results indicated that among the catalysts, the Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85La23+0.15O catalyst exhibited the highest activity, making it the most suitable for the dry reforming of methane reaction.

Sintering and carbon deposition are the two main ways to deactivate Ni-based catalysts during methane reforming. Herein, a stable Ni-CeO2/SiO2(CSC) catalyst was prepared by a one-step colloidal solution combustion method (CSC) and used for dry reforming of methane. In the catalyst, the small Ni particles were confined by CeO2 particles and highly dispersed on the surface of SiO2, forming a spatial confinement structure with a rich Ni-CeO2 interface in the catalyst. The Ni-CeO2/SiO2(CSC) catalyst prepared by the one-step CSC method exhibited superior activity at 700 °C during dry reforming of methane, and the performance of the catalyst was stable after 20 h of reaction with only a small amount of carbon deposition present (1.8%). Due to the spatial confinement effect, Ni was stable and less than 5 nm during reaction. The small Ni particle size and rich Ni-CeO2 interface reduced the rate of carbon deposition. This colloidal combustion method could be applied to prepare stable metal-based catalysts with rich metal–oxide interfaces for high-temperature reactions.
