The interactions between Ni and LaFeO₃ were studied on catalysts prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of 0.5-nm films of LaFeO₃ on MgAl₂O₄. Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy showed that the films covered the support uniformly, even after 5 redox cycles at 1073 K, and X-Ray Diffraction showed that the films had the perovskite structure. Equilibrium between Ni and NiO was studied using coulometric-titration and flow-titration measurements on 5-wt% Ni catalysts, with and without LaFeO₃. While equilibrium constants for Ni/MgAl₂O₄ were similar to that expected for bulk Ni, equilibrium P_O₂ were shifted to significantly lower values in the presence of LaFeO₃. In studies of Methane Dry Reforming, the shift in equilibrium resulted in catalyst deactivation due to Ni oxidation at low CO:CO₂ ratios, even though Ni/LaFeO₃/MgAl₂O₄ otherwise showed a high reaction rate and excellent tolerance against coking.
