The influence of five different supported catalysts on the CO2 reforming of methane to syngas was examined. The results showed that the catalyst support with the highest surface area provided the best catalytic activity.
The CO2 reforming of methane to syngas was examined over five different supported catalysts. In this study, 5% Ni was used as the active metal part of the catalyst. To better comprehend the impact of the supports on the catalytic properties, 5% Ni-based catalysts were characterized using nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, XRD, H-2-TPR, CO2-TPD, TGA, TPO, FTIR, and Raman. The results showed that the catalyst support with the highest surface area provided the best catalytic activity. The acquired CH4 and CO2 conversions at 700 degrees C were 58.2% and 67.6%, respectively, with a hydrogen/carbon ratio of 0.85. The TGA investigation of the high-surface-area sample produced a minimum carbon deposition of 11.2 wt.%, and in the CO2-TPD investigation, the high-surface-area sample exhibited the absence of a peak in the strong-basic-sites zone. The formation of NiAl2O4 spinel, moderate basicity, and the high surface area explained the outperformance of the high-surface-area catalyst sample.
