Abstract:In this work, the use of electrospun zirconia nanofibers (NFs), native and doped with 8% mol yttrium, was evaluated for the first time as supports for Ni-based hierarchical catalysts in the dry re-forming of methane (DRM). By a thermal annealing process of the as-made fibers to 500−1000 °C, we induce controlled changes to the NFs structural properties, before the introduction of a thin MgAlO x mixed oxide (MO) layer and nickel (Ni) to make hierarchical catalysts for DRM. Analyzing the NFs properties, we find t… Show more
