چکیده
Article history: Received 11 October 2015 Received in revised form 2 December 2015 Accepted 15 December 2015 Available online 17 December 2015 The dry reforming of methane (DRM) utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) as the oxidizing agent in order to produce synthesis gas. Catalyst deactivation via coking, oxidation, and sintering has stymied the industrialization of catalysts for the DRM. Here, we utilized electrodeposition followed by de-alloying in order to synthesize metal alloy foams (5 m/g). Through this process we have created the first electrodeposited DRM catalyst capable of converting more than 10,000 mL/g∗h at near-equilibrium conversion. Rhenium promotion was observed over the entire temperature range studied (700–800 °C), with the most dramatic enhancement at 700 °C. After 50 h of reaction, no significant accumulation of carbonaceous deposits were detected, making electrodeposited structures a viable candidate for stable methane conversion catalysts. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Several mesoporous nickel-based catalysts with MgO-Al2O3 as the catalyst support were prepared using a co-precipitation method at a constant pH. The supports were prepared from the decomposition of an Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like structure which had already been prepared with Mg/Al=1. Prior to impregnating 10 wt.% nickel on the supports, the precursor was decomposed at several ...
متن کاملMethane oxy-steam reforming over a highly efficient Ni/Al2O3 nanocatalyst prepared by microwave-assisted impregnation method
An alumina-supported nickel catalyst was prepared by impregnation of Ni2+ solution onto mesoporous alumina under microwave irradiation (denoted as M-Ni/Al2O3). For comparison, a catalyst with the same nickel content was prepared by conventional impregnation method (denoted as UM-Ni/Al2O3). Both M-Ni/Al2O3 and UM-Ni/Al2O3 catalysts were applied to the syngas (H2 + CO) production by methane oxy-s...
