Nickel / Doped Ceria Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Anodes for Dry Reforming of Methane

Syngas production from CO 2 reforming of methane over ceria supported cobalt catalyst: Effects of reactants partial pressure

“…Significantly, ceria has been used extensively as a promoter in catalyst formulations for reactions to syngas viz. steam reforming, partial oxidation and dry reforming of methane (Laosiripojana et al, 2005;Zhang et al, 2007;Aw et al 2014;Fonseca et al, 2014;Yu et al, 2014). Addition of ceria as promoters has been reported to significantly enhance the stability of the catalysts in terms of its resistance to carbon deposition (Laosiripojana et al, 2005).…”

Influence of zirconia addition in TiO2 and TiO2–CeO2 aerogels on the textural, structural and catalytic properties of supported vanadia in chlorobenzene oxidation

“…47 The TPR prole of VTiCeZr catalyst exhibits two peaks around 638 C and 692 C which are attributed to the reduction of bulk CeO 2 . 48,49 The reduction temperatures are lower than that of CeO 2 (above 700 C 49,50 ). This was associated with the ZrO 2 ability to modify sublattice oxygen into CeO 2 -ZrO 2 mixed oxides, generating defective structures and highly mobile oxygen atoms.…”

Progress in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells with Hydrocarbon Fuels

“…Hence, these issues need to be first addressed, and one way of doing it is by developing catalysts that have excellent activity and high resistance against coking [35,83]. In addition to Ni-based catalysts [84,85], other types of catalysts have been explored for this reaction, such as with precious metals, e.g., iridium (Ir), Rh, Ru, Pd, Pt and others [86][87][88]. These materials were reported to have an encouraging catalytic performance with respect to activity and selectivity to syngas formation.…”

“…Alternatively, ceria (CeO 2 ) doped with materials such as zirconium (Zr), praseodymium (Pr) and niobium (Nb) were mixed with Ni and have been applied as anodes for an SOFC operated on CH 4 -CO 2 mixture [84]. The anodes were prepared by a hydrothermal method with a Ni content (14 vol.%), much lower than that of typical SOFC anodes (i.e., 30 vol.%).…”
