The shape of the carriers plays a significant role in the catalytic performance of metal-supported catalysts. This study investigates the impact of different shapes of ZrO2 (nanorods-like, spherical, and irregular nanoparticles) on the catalytic performance in methane dry reforming by dispersing Ni species. Various characterization techniques are used to analyze the fresh and spent catalysts. The reducibility of NiO species is found to follow the order of Ni/RZ.
The shape of the carriers has a profound impact on the catalytic performance of metal-supported catalysts. Herein, ZrO2 of different shapes (nanorods-like, spherical or irregular nanoparticles, demoted as RZ, SPZ, and IPZ, respectively) are adopted to disperse Ni species to assess the shape effects on the catalytic performance in dry reforming of methane. To this end, the fresh and spent catalysts are thoroughly characterized by multiple techniques including N-2 sorption, powder X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction with H-2, thermogravimetric analyses, transmission electron microscopy, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. It is revealed that the reducibility of NiO species follows the orders of Ni/RZ
