This work investigates the effects of molybdenum promoter and silica oxide (SiO₂) support morphology on the ethanol steam reforming (ESR) performance of Nickel-Molybdenum (NiMo) bimetallic catalysts. Ordered mesoporous SiO₂ (SBA-15) and commercial SiO₂ supports were used as the oxide support materials. The synthesized catalysts were prepared via the wet impregnation method and characterized via XRD, H₂-TPR, BET, FTIR, and Raman techniques. This study shows that NiMo bimetallic catalyst supported on SBA-15 has superior catalytic activity and better coking resistance at an intermediate temperature of 600 ⁰C than commercial SiO₂ supported catalysts. The presence of a uniform mesoporous structure of SBA-15 with an average pore diameter of ~ 2 nm can obstruct the carbon formation, leading to improved coking resistance. The catalytic enhancement of NiMo bimetallic catalysts toward ESR can also be linked to the ability of Mo promoter in enhancing the interaction between NiMo nanoparticles and SiO₂ support materials and restraining agglomeration of Ni nanoparticles, which results in further improvement of NiMo nanoparticle dispersion and inhibit its sintering. The NiMo bimetallic catalysts supported on SBA-15 illustrated the high H₂ yield of ~ 54% and carbon conversion of ~ 89% with the excellent stability for ESR performed at 600 ⁰C and the steam-to-carbon ratio of 2 over 65 hours.
