High‐Performance Bimetallic Catalysts for Low‐Temperature Carbon Dioxide Reforming of Methane

Abstract

Catalytic dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a promising way for renewable syngas production due to the utilization of both CO2 and CH4 greenhouse gases. Current approaches were made to improve the catalytic activity and coke resistance by introducing a second metal into the Ni‐based catalytic system. This bimetallic catalytic system showed a significant improvement in coke resistance due to the synergistic effect of both metals towards the reaction. This review summarizes recent developments in bimetallic catalysts in DRM which focused on the evaluation of catalysts, deactivation studies, and reaction mechanisms of developed bimetallic catalysts.

Engineering heterogenous catalysts for chemical CO2 utilization: Lessons from thermal catalysis and advantages of yolk@shell structured nanoreactors

“…These results were supported by several other works concerning similar NiCo catalysts within the DRM [117,118,[127][128][129][130][131][132][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126]. The performance of the NiCo bimetallic catalysts has been linked to the ratio of Ni:Co, as well as the selected support material [133].…”

CO Oxidation at Near-Ambient Temperatures over TiO2-Supported Pd-Cu Catalysts: Promoting Effect of Pd-Cu Nanointerface and TiO2 Morphology

“…Zhang et al shows that the strong support interaction and the bifunctional mechanism contribute to the enhanced catalytic activity of Au-Cu supported on CeO 2 [ 65 ]. Particularly in the case of bimetal alloy, it was shown that synergistic effect and CO-adsorption-induced surface aggregation are the known phenomena that play a key role in the catalytic activity determination [ 58 , 71 , 72 ]. In our case, it is believed that Cu will surface segregate and bind to the O 2 gas molecule while Pd will mainly bind to the CO.…”

Sequential electrodeposition of Cu–Pt bimetallic nanocatalysts on boron-doped diamond electrodes for the simple and rapid detection of methanol

“…Moreover, the addition of a secondary metal offers the potential to increase the activity, selectivity, and stability of catalysts for a particular reaction. Several bimetallic catalysts have been utilized for numerous purposes, such as environmental treatments, chemical synthesis, and petroleum refining processes 4 – 6 . Among various applications, we are particularly interested in exploiting bimetallic catalysts for the sluggish oxidative kinetic reaction of the direct electrochemical detection of methanol (MetOH).…”
