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 H ₂ 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 CO ₂ dissociation ability, which is responsible for its superior catalytic performance. Its weak chemisorption with H ₂ 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 with isotopic gas mixture over Ni-based pyrochlore catalyst

Journal Article Kumar, Nitin ; Kanitkar, Swarom ; Wang, Zi ; ... - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy

Dry reforming of methane was carried out using isotopic ¹³CO ₂ and C ¹⁸O ₂ gases over a Ni-based pyrochlore catalyst that was synthesized using the modified Pechini method. In this method, 1 wt% Ni was doped into the La ₂Zr ₂O ₇ pyrochlore structure. The catalyst was characterized by H ₂-TPR, TPO, and XRD and tested for its methane reforming activity under CO ₂ dry-reforming reaction conditions. Here, the results of repeated TPR/TPO cycles up to 950 °C showed that the consecutive TPR profiles were nearly identical, indicating that the catalyst was stable at high temperatures, and that themore »« 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

Evaluation of Catalyst Deactivation during Catalytic Steam Reforming of Biomass-Derived Syngas

Journal Article Bain, R. L. ; Dayton, D. C. ; Carpenter, D. L. ; ... - Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

Mitigation of tars produced during biomass gasification continues to be a technical barrier to developing systems. This effort combined the measurement of tar-reforming catalyst deactivation kinetics and the production of syngas in a pilot-scale biomass gasification system at a single steady-state condition with mixed woods, producing a gas with an H{sub 2}-to-CO ratio of 2 and 13% methane. A slipstream from this process was introduced into a bench-scale 5.25 cm diameter fluidized-bed catalyst reactor charged with an alkali-promoted Ni-based/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalyst. Catalyst conversion tests were performed at a constant space time and five temperatures from 775 to 875 C.more »« less

Dry reforming of methane over CeO ₂-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
