Title: Lattice Strained Ni-Co alloy as a High-Performance Catalyst for Catalytic Dry Reforming of Methane

Abstract

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is an effective route to convert methane and carbon dioxide to syngas. IN this work, we report an efficient nickel cobalt bimetallic catalyst with an activity of 4.97 mol_CH4 mol_Ni^-1s^-1 at 800 °C. It is active at low temperature as well, and near thermodynamic equilibrium conversion was achieved as low as 350 °C, with a high yield of H₂ implying inhibition of side reactions: i.e., a reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction. The formation of Ni-Co alloy during the reaction was observed, and its lattice contraction was revealed by HAADF-STEM and EXAFS experiments. The lattice-strained Ni-Co alloy has good CO₂ dissociation ability, which is responsible for its superior catalytic performance. Its weak chemisorption with H₂ results in inhibition of RWGS side reactions. This research is helpful in the design and development of other metal alloy materials with novel structures and/or electronic configurations for catalytic applications.

Characterization of LaRhO3 perovskites for dry (CO2) reforming of methane (DRM)

Journal Article Johansson, Ted ; Pakhare, Devendra ; Haynes, Daniel ; ... - Chemical Papers

Abstract This work reports on the characterization of LaRhO3 perovskite as a catalyst for dry reforming of methane. The catalyst was studied using CH4-temperature programmed reduction (TPR), H2-TPR, and temperature programmed surface reaction (TPSR), and the changes in the crystal structure of the catalyst due to these treatments were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD pattern of the freshly calcined perovskites showed the formation of highly crystalline LaRhO3 and La2O3 phases. H2-TPR of the fresh calcined catalyst showed a shoulder at 342°C and a broad peak at 448°C, suggesting that the reduction of Rh in perovskite occurs in multiple steps.more »« less

Dry reforming of methane over CeO₂-supported Pt-Co catalysts with enhanced activity

Journal Article Xie, Zhenhua ; Yan, Binhang ; Kattel, Shyam ; ... - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental

Dry reforming of methane provides opportunities of using CH4 and CO2 to produce syngas. The PtCo/CeO2 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/CeO2 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.more »« less

Enhanced Dry Reforming of Methane on Ni and Ni-Pt Catalysts Synthesized by Atomic Layer Deposition

Journal Article Gould, Troy D. ; Montemore, Matthew M. ; Lubers, Alia M. ; ... - Applied Catalysis. A, General, 492:107–116

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to deposit Ni and Pt on alumina supports to form monometallic and bimetallic catalysts with initial particle sizes of 1–2.4 nm. The ALD catalysts were more active (per mass of metal) than catalysts prepared by incipient wetness (IW) for dry reforming of methane (DRM), and they did not form carbon whiskers during reaction due to their sufficiently small size. Catalysts modified by Pt ALD had higher rates of reaction per mass of metal and inhibited coking, whereas NiPt catalysts synthesized by IW still formed carbon whiskers. Temperature-programmed reduction of Ni catalysts modified by Ptmore »« less

Sandwiched SiO₂@Ni@ZrO₂ as a coke resistant nanocatalyst for dry reforming of methane

Journal Article Dou, Jian ; Zhang, Riguang ; Hao, Xiaobin ; ... - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental

Design active and coke resistant Ni based catalysts is critical for implementation of dry reforming of methane technology. In this work, coke resistant SiO₂@Ni@ZrO₂ catalyst has been successfully prepared through precipitation of nickel nitrate with ammonia onto silica spheres, followed by coating with porous ZrO₂ shell. Through thermal treatment in air and hydrogen, nickel nanoparticles with size of 6 nm were sandwiched between silica core and zirconia shell. The ZrO₂ coated Ni catalyst exhibited a high activity of (similar to)13.0 mol CH4 per gram of Ni per hour for methane dry reforming at 700 degrees C, which is more thanmore »« less

Effects of Zr Doping into Ceria for the Dry Reforming of Methane over Ni/CeZrO₂ Catalysts: In Situ Studies with XRD, XAFS, and AP-XPS

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

The methane activation and methane dry reforming reactions were studied and compared over 4 wt % Ni/CeO2 and 4 wt % Ni/CeZrO2 (containing 20 wt % Zr) catalysts. Upon the incorporation of Zr into the ceria support, the catalyst exhibited a significantly improved activity and H-2 selectivity. To understand the effects of the Zr dopant on Ni and CeO2 during the dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction and to probe the structure-reactivity relationship underlying the enhanced catalytic performance of the mixed-oxide system, in situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TR-XRD), X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), and ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) weremore »« less
