This study successfully enhanced the selectivity of syngas by controlling the structure of oxygen storage materials, providing a new strategy for regulating oxygen diffusion in chemical looping. The findings can also be extended to other chemical looping applications.
Chemical looping redox cycle of oxygen storage materials offers a versatile platform to convert methane to value-added products in a clean and efficient manner. However, the highly dynamic nature of the oxygen dif-fusion process restrains the selective formation of the target products over a long reaction period. In this work, we show the oxygen storage materials-comprising of iron oxides and zirconium oxide support, with the nickel catalyst controllably deposited-that significantly enhanced the syngas selectivity. Mechanistic study indicated the oxygen releasing rate can be well controlled within a long reaction period by the specific spatial structure, demonstrating a new strategy to tune the oxygen diffusion in chemical looping process. Through the observed spatial effects, this work can be also extended to develop more oxygen storage materials for the other chemical looping applications, e.g. methane reforming, methane oxidative coupling, ethane oxidative dehydrogenation, etc.
