Optimizing the oxide support composition in Pr-doped CeO2 towards highly active and selective Ni-based CO2 methanation catalysts

Anastasios I. Tsiotsias et al.

Summary: In this study, Ni catalysts supported on Pr-doped CeO2 were investigated for CO2 methanation reaction. It was found that Pr doping introduced oxygen vacancies and promoted the dispersion of active metal. Low Pr loadings showed enhanced catalytic activity, while high Pr contents decreased the oxygen vacancy population and resulted in decreased catalytic activity.
