Methane dry reforming reaction (DRM) can convert CO2 and CH4, two kinds of greenhouse gases with very stable chemical properties, to produce syngas, which can be used to synthesize valuable industrial products. Nickel-based catalysts have been widely used in DRM because of their low cost and good catalytic activity. However, nickel application is limited by such as high-temperature metal sintering, carbon deposition and catalyst poisoning, which restricts the industrial application in DRM reaction. Compared with single metal nickel, the selective doping of multi metals and supports shows higher catalytic activity and anti poisoning tolerance due to changing the chemical and structural properties of the catalyst by enhancing the alloy effect and the force between metal and support. This paper mainly reviews the catalysts with anti-coking, anti-sintering and anti-sulfur poisoning by tuning the metal-metal interaction and metal-support interaction (MSI) in DRM. The modification strategies in interfacial engineering and structure-performance relationship are discussed, and the existing difficulties and future development of Ni-based catalysts are proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
