“…At the catalyst level, many attempts have been performed to control the deposition of coke in these reactions or minimize its impact. Changing the morphology of the metal (Ni) has recurrently been used to control catalyst deactivation, either by decreasing the particle size [254,255], changing the chemical environment of Ni [256], using a different synthetic pathway [257], using different calcination/reduction methods [144], or using other metals such as the incorporation of Co [258,259], the use of Fe-Zn [260] or other metals all together [261]. On the other side, several attempts have been made to control the catalyst deactivation trough support modification, either by changing porosity or metal placement on the support [28], or by using other conventional supports such as ZrO2, SiO2, MgO, TiO2 [262] or unconventional ones [263].…”
