Finding a robust catalytic system for hydrogen production via dry reforming of methane (DRM) remains challenge. Herein, MNi0.9Zr1−xYxO3 (M = Ce, La, and La0.6Ce0.4; x 0.00, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09) catalyst was prepared by the sol–gel method, tested DRM characterized surface area porosity, X-ray diffraction, H2-temperature programmed reduction, thermogravimetry, transmission electron microscopy. In La...
