Active and selective Ni-based catalysts for the production of hydrogen through the decomposition of methane were looked for. The most active catalyst having the longest life time was a nickel catalyst supported on Cab-O-Sil. Approximately 1200 carbon atoms per a nickel atom deposited on the Ni(5 wt%)/Cab-O-Sil catalyst at 793 K before a complete deactivation was observed.
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.
