Abstract

Dry reforming of methane provides opportunities of using CH ₄ and CO ₂ to produce syngas. The PtCo/CeO ₂ bimetallic catalyst shows higher activity and H ₂/CO ratio than the corresponding monometallic catalysts, mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of Pt-Co. Structural feature of the PtCo/CeO ₂ catalyst was revealed by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) of adsorbed CO and in situ techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray adsorption fine structure (XAFS) and ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). Pt-Co alloy and separated Co particles co-existed in the bimetallic catalyst, whereas the former was determined as the dominant active structure with a Pt-Co-mixed-surface termination. During reaction, Pt and Co in the alloy structure nearly maintained their metallic state with slight oxygen decoration, yielding oxygen-metal site-pairs (O*-*). Combined kinetic investigations and DFT calculations reveal that the O*-modified catalytic surface of PtCo/CeO ₂ promotes CH bond activation with higher entropy contribution (less constraints) to compensate its higher activation barrier. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy show that the PtCo/CeO ₂ catalyst is resistant to coke formation as effectively as Pt/CeO ₂ and can be easily regenerated by a mild CO ₂ treatment.

Dry Reforming of Ethane and Butane with CO ₂ over PtNi/CeO ₂ Bimetallic Catalysts

Journal Article Yan, Binhang ; Yang, Xiaofang ; Yao, Siyu ; ... - ACS Catalysis

Dry reforming is a potential process to convert CO ₂ and light alkanes into syngas (H ₂ and CO), which can be subsequently transformed to chemicals and fuels. Here in this work, PtNi bimetallic catalysts have been investigated for dry reforming of ethane and butane using both model surfaces and supported powder catalysts. The PtNi bimetallic catalyst shows an improvement in both activity and stability as compared to the corresponding monometallic catalysts. The formation of PtNi alloy and the partial reduction of Ce ⁴⁺ to Ce ³⁺ under reaction conditions are demonstrated by in-situ Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (AP-XPS),more »« less

In Situ Elucidation of the Active State of Co–CeO _x Catalysts in the Dry Reforming of Methane: The Important Role of the Reducible Oxide Support and Interactions with Cobalt

Journal Article Zhang, Feng ; Liu, Zongyuan ; Zhang, Shuhao ; ... - ACS Catalysis

The activation of methane and its dry reforming with CO ₂ was systematically studied over a series (2–30 wt %) of Co (~5 nm in size) loaded CeO ₂ catalysts, with an effort to elucidate the interplay between Co and CeO ₂ during the catalytic process using in situ methods. The results of in situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TR-XRD) show a strong interaction of methane with the CoOx–CeO ₂ systems at temperatures between 200 and 350 °C. The hydrogen produced by the dissociation of C–H bonds in methane leads to a full reduction of Co oxide, Co ₃O ₄ →more »« less

Methanol steam reforming over Ni-CeO ₂ model and powder catalysts: Pathways to high stability and selectivity for H ₂/CO ₂ production

Journal Article Liu, Zongyuan ; Yao, Siyu ; Johnston-Peck, Aaron ; ... - Catalysis Today

Here, nickel-ceria has been reported as a very good catalysts for the reforming of methane. Here, the methanol steam reforming reaction on both powder (Ni-CeO ₂) and model (Ni-CeO _2-x(111)) catalysts was investigated. The active phase evolution and surface species transformation on powder catalysts were studied via in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and diffuse reflectance infrared transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Phase transitions of NiO → NiC → Ni and CeO ₂ → CeO _2-x were observed during the reaction. The simultaneous production of H ₂/CO ₂ demonstrates that the active phase of the catalysts contains metallic Ni supported over partially reducedmore »« less
