This study demonstrates that inducing CO2-SMSI can greatly enhance the catalytic activity in DRM reaction, providing a new approach to overcome the limitation of classical SMSI catalyst.
Strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) is an important concept in heterogeneous catalysis that has a profound effect on the structure and activity of the supported metal catalyst. However, the catalyst with an uncontrolled SMSI state significantly prevents the accessibility of metal surface to reactants by encapsulation process which inevitably limits their practical application. Herein, we demonstrate that under the reaction condition of dry reforming of methane (DRM), the occurrence of SMSI (CO2-SMSI) can be operando induced between Rh and CeO2 which significantly improves the catalytic activity in DRM reaction. Detailed study has revealed that the formation of suitable Rh delta+/Rh0 species in CO2-SMSI is critical in improving CH4 activation, while the presence of permeable encapsulation layer is helpful to provide more active sites. This discovery provides a new approach to overcome the limitation of classical SMSI catalyst in DRM reaction.
