Doping Fe and Zn to modulate Ni nanoparticles on IM-5 for methane decomposition to form hydrogen and CNTs

Huayang Sun et al.

Summary: Catalysts Ni/IM-5 doped with Fe and/or Zn were investigated for the catalytic decomposition of methane, leading to the simultaneous production of hydrogen and carbon nanotubes. The Ni20Fe5Zn5/IM-5 catalyst exhibited high methane conversion and 100% selectivity towards H2. Fe atoms inhibited the formation of larger Ni particles, while Zn atoms enhanced the migration of C atoms on the catalyst surface. IM-5 was speculated to facilitate the diffusion of C atoms and prevent excessive carbon deposition. The synergistic effect between the metal and IM-5 resulted in the selective production of pure and highly graphitized CNTs. A carbon migration model and catalyst deactivation mechanism were proposed.

Optimized Process for Melt Pyrolysis of Methane to Produce Hydrogen and Carbon Black over Ni Foam/NaCl-KCl Catalyst

Mengying Liu et al.

Summary: Methane pyrolysis, a potential hydrogen production process, can transform CH4 into hydrogen without CO2 byproduct under the net-zero emission target. In this study, a new strategy using Ni foam and molten NaCl-KCl for methane pyrolysis to hydrogen production was proposed. The methane conversion rate was enhanced by increasing the amount of Ni foam, and the process was optimized through different catalyst amounts, height of Ni foam layer, and filling method. The addition of molten salt alleviated carbon deposition deactivation of the Ni foam and maintained its macrostructure.

An iron ore-based catalyst for producing hydrogen and metallurgical carbon via catalytic methane pyrolysis for decarbonisation of the steel industry

Summary: Experiments on the catalytic pyrolysis of methane using an iron ore-based catalyst were conducted to optimize catalytic activity and examine the purity of the carbon produced. The effect of ball milling the iron ore for different times (from 30 to 330 min) at 300 rpm on methane conversion was studied. Optimal milling for 270 min resulted in a significant increase in methane conversion to 5%, but further grinding led to a decline in conversion to 4% due to particle agglomeration.

Methane pyrolysis in a molten gallium bubble column reactor for sustainable hydrogen production: Proof of concept & techno-economic assessment

Summary: Currently, nearly 50% of global hydrogen production is derived from Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), which leads to significant CO2 emissions and exacerbates global warming. The use of methane pyrolysis with melts of metals and salts produces less CO2 and offers a more sustainable route to generate hydrogen, with the added benefit of valuable carbon co-product sales potential. Techno-economic and sensitivity analyses suggest that the molten metal technology can compete with SMR if co-product carbon is saleable and a CO2 tax is imposed.

Methane pyrolysis in low-cost, alkali-halide molten salts at high temperatures

Clarke Palmer et al.

Summary: Molten salts are being considered as reaction media for methane pyrolysis to produce CO2-free hydrogen gas and remove solid carbon, but there is still a lack of fundamental understanding of methane transformation processes in liquid environments. Experimental results show that the effective activation energies for methane pyrolysis and single CH4-D-2 exchange in molten salts are lower than those for homogeneous uncatalyzed reactions and consistent with some solid metal oxide catalysts. Calculations using molecular dynamics and density functional theory support the experimental findings, and high temperature heat treatments are effective at cleaning residual salt from carbon.
