“…In theory, coke deposition can be avoided by: (i) altering the electronic properties of metal-support interactions, (ii) influencing the size of metallic particles and, (iii) improving the oxygen storage capacity and mobility within supporting material (Roh et al, 2006;Kumar et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2008;Goula et al, 2014;Yentekakis et al, 2015Yentekakis et al, , 2016Han et al, 2017). Thus, the attempts that have been undertaken to improve the stability of DRM nickel catalysts have focused on the use of different oxides as supports (e.g., Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , La 2 O 3 , CeO 2 , ZrO 2 ) (Pompeo et al, 2007;Bereketidou and Goula, 2012;Li et al, 2016) or the use of a variety of dopants that include transition metals (e.g., Fe, Co, Sn) (Ay and Uner, 2015;Theofanidis et al, 2015;Zhao et al, 2016), noble metals (e.g., Ag, Pt, Pd, Ir) Yentekakis et al, 2015;Yu et al, 2015), lanthanide metals (e.g., La, Ce, Pr) (Goula et al, 2016a;Vasiliades et al, 2016;Xiang et al, 2016) and alkaline earth metals (e.g., Sr, Ca, Ba) (Bellido et al, 2009;Sutthiumporn and Kawi, 2011). Although ZrO 2 is an oxide with a relatively low surface area, its notable thermal stability, strength and toughness, as well as, the fact that it is an acid-basic bi-functional oxide (as it contains both basic and acidic properties over its surface that have the capacity to work either independently or in cooperation), which has redox functions, makes it attractive for use in reforming reactions (Sarkar et al, 2007;Goula et al, 2017;Charisiou et al, in press).…”

The time-on-stream catalytic performance and stability of 8 wt. % Ni catalyst supported on two commercially available catalytic supports, ZrO 2 and 15 wt.% WO 3 -ZrO 2 , was investigated under the biogas dry reforming reaction for syngas production, at 750 • C and a biogas quality equal to CH 4 /CO 2 = 1.5, that represents a common concentration of real biogas. A number of analytical techniques such as N 2 adsorption/desorption (BET method), XRD, H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -and CO 2 -TPD, SEM, ICP, thermal analysis (TGA/DTG) and Raman spectroscopy were used in order to determine textural, structural and other physicochemical properties of the catalytic materials, and the type of carbon deposited on the catalytic surface of spent samples. These techniques were used in an attempt to understand better the effects of WO 3 -induced modifications on the catalyst morphology, physicochemical properties and catalytic performance. Although Ni dispersion and reducibility characteristics were found superior on the modified Ni/WZr sample than that on Ni/Zr, its dry reforming of methane (DRM) performance was inferior; a result attributed to the enhanced acidity and complete loss of the basicity recorded on this catalyst, an effect that competes and finally overshadows the benefits of the other superior properties. Raman studies revealed that the degree of graphitization decreases with the insertion of WO 3 in the crystalline structure of the ZrO 2 support, as the I D /I G peak intensity ratio is 1.03 for the Ni/Zr and 1.29 for the Ni/WZr catalyst.

Optimizing the preparation of Ni‐Ce‐Pr catalysts for efficient hydrogen production by n ‐dodecane steam reforming

Summary Nowadays, the development of fuel cell is getting more and more inseparable from the production of hydrogen. Long‐chain hydrocarbons steam reforming is a feasible way for hydrogen supply. Herein, various nickel‐ceria‐praseodymium (Ni‐Ce‐Pr) catalysts have been prepared by a sol‐gel method. Multiple parameters during catalyst preparation, including the amount of Ni, the content of doped Pr and the calcination temperature, were systematically studied for tuning the catalytic performance for n‐dodecane steam reforming in a fixed‐bed reactor under 15 mL/gcat·h at 600°C and water‐to‐carbon molar ratio of 2 at 0.1 MPa. Reaction data showed that both the amount of Ni and the content of doped Pr will greatly affect the n‐dodecane conversion and hydrogen production. Additionally, the calcination temperature during catalyst preparation showed a big influence on its performance for n‐dodecane steam reforming. After optimization, 10Ni‐CePr2‐600 exhibits the highest activity and stability for n‐dodecane steam reforming, accompanying with the lowest rate of coke deposition (0.015 gc/gcat·h). The structure and oxygen vacancy of the catalyst was characterized by H2‐TPR, Raman, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The superior activity and stability of 10Ni‐CePr2‐600 are ascribed to the strong interaction between NiO and support along with abundant oxygen vacancies in the Pr‐doped ceria.

Dry reforming of methane (DRM), the catalytic conversion of CH4 and CO2 into syngas (H2 + CO), is an important process closely correlated to the environment and chemical industry. NiAl‐based catalysts have been reported to exhibit excellent activity, low cost, and environmental friendliness. At the same time, the rapid deactivation caused by carbon deposition, Ni sintering, and phase transformation exerts great challenges for its large‐scale applications. This review summarizes the recent advances in NiAl‐based catalysts for DRM, particularly focusing on the strategies to construct efficient and stable NiAl‐based catalysts. Firstly, the thermodynamics and elementary steps of DRM, including the activation of reactants and coke formation and elimination, are summarized. The roles of Al2O3 and its mixed oxides as the support, and the influences of the promoters employed in NiAl‐based catalysts over the DRM performance, are then illustrated. Finally, the design of anti‐coking and anti‐sintering NiAl‐based catalysts for DRM is suggested as feasible and promising by tailoring the structure and states of Ni and the modification of Al‐based supports including small Ni size, high Ni dispersion, proper basicity, strong metal‐support interaction (SMSI), active oxygen species as well as high phase stability.
