Abstract

Engineering sophisticated structure of Al₂O₃and controlling the structure of counterpart metal active sites remain challenges to achieve a high catalytic‐performance in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we present a confinement strategy to stabilize homogeneous Ni by penta‐coordinated Al³⁺anchoring sites in Al₂O₃. This approach is involved in using a metal–organic framework as host to load Ni²⁺ions, by the aim of producing a confined Ni/Al₂O₃catalyst after a standard calcination. Metal–support interaction between Ni and Al₂O₃was tailored to be medium to avoid the formation of inactive NiAl₂O₄, which favors the generation of more available Ni active sites accessible to the reactants. The resultant Ni/Al₂O₃exhibited superior catalytic performance in comparison with the control Ni/Al₂O₃in CO methanation owing to the presence of defective sites on sufficient Ni⁰surface. Furthermore, the presence of oxygen vacancies on Al₂O₃and hydrogen spillover contributed toward excellent coke resistance properties in the reaction.
