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.
Methane pyrolysis transforming CH4 into hydrogen without a CO2 byproduct is a potential hydrogen production process under the net-zero emission target. The melt pyrolysis of methane is a technology that could simultaneously obtain hydrogen and carbon products. However, its catalytic activity and stability are still far from satisfactory. In this work, a new strategy for the melt pyrolysis of methane to hydrogen production was proposed using Ni foam and molten NaCl-KCl. The increase in the amount of Ni foam was found to enhance the methane conversion rate from 12.6% to 18%. The process was optimized by the different amounts of catalysts, the height of the Ni foam layer, and the filling method of Ni foam, indicating that the methane conversion rate of the string method could reach 19.2% at 900 degrees C with the designed aeration device. Furthermore, we observed that the addition of molten salt significantly alleviated the carbon deposition deactivation of the Ni foam and maintained its macrostructure during the reaction. The analysis of the carbon products revealed that carbon black could be obtained.
