High Coke-Resistance Pt/Mg1-xNixO Catalyst for Dry Reforming of Methane.

ABSTRACT: A highly active and stable nano structured Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalysts was developed by a simple co-precipitation method. The obtained Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst exhibited cubic structure nanocatalyst with a size of 50-80 nm and realized CH4 and CO2 conversions as high as 98% at 900°C with excellent stability in the dry reforming of methane. The characterization of catalyst was performed using various kinds of analytical techniques including XRD, BET, XRF, TPR-H2, TGA, TEM, FESEM, FT-IR, and XPS analyses. Characterization of spent catalyst further confirms that Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst has high coke-resistance for dry reforming. Thus, the catalyst demonstrated in this study, offers a promising catalyst for resolving the dilemma between dispersion and reducibility of supported metal, as well as activity and stability during high temperature reactions.

Promoted coke resistance of Ni by surface carbon for the dry reforming of methane.

Project description:Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is an efficient process to transform methane and carbon dioxide to syngas. Nickel could show good catalytic activity for DRM, whereas the deactivation of nickel surfaces by the formation of inert carbon structures is inevitable. In this study, we carry out a detailed investigation of the evolution and catalytic performance of the carbon-covered surface structure on Ni(100) with a combined density functional theory and microkinetic modeling approach. The results suggest that the pristine Ni(100) surface is prone to carbon deposition and accumulation under reaction conditions. Further studies show that over this carbon-covered reconstructed Ni(100) surface, a carbon-based Mars-van-Krevelen mechanism would be favored, and the activity and coke resistance is promoted. This surface state and reaction mechanism were rarely reported before and would provide more insights into the DRM process under real reaction conditions and would help design more stable Ni catalysts.

Atomically dispersed nickel as coke-resistant active sites for methane dry reforming.

Project description:Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is an attractive route to utilize CO2 as a chemical feedstock with which to convert CH4 into valuable syngas and simultaneously mitigate both greenhouse gases. Ni-based DRM catalysts are promising due to their high activity and low cost, but suffer from poor stability due to coke formation which has hindered their commercialization. Herein, we report that atomically dispersed Ni single atoms, stabilized by interaction with Ce-doped hydroxyapatite, are highly active and coke-resistant catalytic sites for DRM. Experimental and computational studies reveal that isolated Ni atoms are intrinsically coke-resistant due to their unique ability to only activate the first C-H bond in CH4, thus avoiding methane deep decomposition into carbon. This discovery offers new opportunities to develop large-scale DRM processes using earth abundant catalysts.

Experimental and computational investigation on underlying factors promoting high coke resistance in NiCo bimetallic catalysts during dry reforming of methane.

Project description:Global warming remains one of the greatest challenges. One of the most prominent solutions is to close the carbon cycle by utilizing the greenhouse gas: CO2, and CH4, as a feedstock via the dry reforming of methane (DRM). This work provided an insight into how the NiCo bimetallic catalyst can perform with high stability against coking during DRM compared to the Ni and Co monometallic catalysts, in which the experimental and computational techniques based on density functional theory were performed. It was found that the high stability against coking found on the NiCo surface can be summarized into two key factors: (1) the role of Co weakening the bond between a Ni active site and coke (2) significantly high surface coke diffusion rate on NiCo. Moreover, the calculation of the surface fraction weighted rate of coke diffusion which modeled the real NiCo particle into four regions: Ni-dominant, Co-dominant, NiCo-dominant, and the mixed region consisting a comparable amount of the former there regions, have shown that the synthesis of a NiCo particle should be dominated with NiCo region while keeping the Ni-dominant, and Co-dominant regions to be as low as possible to facilitate coke diffusion and removal. Thus, to effectively utilize the coke-resistant property of NiCo catalyst for DRM, one should together combine its high coke diffusion rate with coke removal mechanisms such as oxidation or hydrogenation, especially at the final diffusion site, to ensure that there will not be enough coke at the final site that will cause back-diffusion.

Dry reforming of methane over nickel supported on Nd-ceria: enhancement of the catalytic properties and coke resistance.

Project description:Nickel (5 wt%) supported on Nd-doped ceria was studied as catalysts in the DRM reaction at stoichiometric conditions in the range of 600-800 °C. Ce1-x Nd x O2-δ supports with different Nd contents (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2) were successfully synthesized. The role of oxygen vacancies by the incorporation of Nd3+ into the ceria lattice was investigated. These species were quantified by XRD and Raman spectroscopy, showing a linear dependence as a function of Nd content. Ni/Nd-ceria catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation. Although formation of oxygen vacancies, as well as microstructural features of the support (smaller crystallite sizes, higher surface area, and developed mesoporous structure) were improved as a function of the Nd content, no significant differences were observed in the catalytic properties of Ni/Nd-ceria in the DRM reaction. Despite this, compared to undoped ceria, all the Nd-doped CeO2 catalysts present an enhanced activity and stability, and the best catalytic performance was observed in the Ni/Ce0.95Nd0.05O2-δ sample. Quantification of carbon residues in spent catalysts showed, as expected, lower amounts in the Ni/Nd-ceria samples; nevertheless, among them, the catalyst with the higher amount of oxygen vacancies, is the one with the higher carbon residues. Incorporation of Nd in ceria changes the acid/base properties, diminishing the gasification capacity of the carbonaceous species. These results emphasize that the activity and stability in the Ni/Nd-ceria catalysts for the DRM reaction depend on two key factors, the redox and the acid/base properties of the CeO2 supports, offering insights about the necessary and adequate balance between these properties.

Nanoporous Nickel Composite Catalyst for the Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:The development of efficient catalysts with high activities and durabilities for use in the dry reforming of methane (DRM) is desirable but challenging. We report the development of a nanoporous nickel composite (nanoporous Ni/Y2O3) via a facile one-step dealloying technique, for use in the DRM. Focusing on the low-temperature DRM, our composite possessed remarkable activity and durability against coking compared with conventional particle-based Ni catalysts. This was attributed to the aluminum oxides present on the Ni surface, which suppress pore coarsening. In addition, the inert bundled Y2O3 nanowires are suitable for use as substrates for nanoporous Ni.

Promotional effect of magnesium oxide for a stable nickel-based catalyst in dry reforming of methane.

Project description:The generation of synthesis gas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide mixture) from two global warming gases of carbon dioxide and methane via dry reforming is environmentally crucial and for the chemical industry as well. Herein, magnesium-promoted NiO supported on mesoporous zirconia, 5Ni/xMg-ZrO2 (x = 0, 3, 5, 7 wt%) were prepared by wet impregnation method and then were tested for syngas production via dry reforming of methane. The reaction temperature at 800 °C was found more catalytically active than that at 700 °C due to the endothermic feature of reaction which promotes efficient CH4 catalytic decomposition over Ni and Ni-Zr interface as confirmed by CH4-TSPR experiment. NiO-MgO solid solution interacted with ZrO2 support was found crucial and the reason for high CH4 and CO2 conversions. The highest catalyst stability of the 5Ni/3Mg-ZrO2 catalyst was explained by the ability of CO2 to partially oxidize the carbon deposit over the surface of the catalyst. A mole ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide near unity (H2/CO ~ 1) was obtained over 5Ni/ZrO2 and 5Ni/5Mg-ZrO2, implying the important role of basic sites. Our approach opens doors for designing cheap and stable dry reforming catalysts from two potent greenhouse gases which could be of great interest for many industrial applications, including syngas production and other value-added chemicals.

Effect of Holmium Oxide Loading on Nickel Catalyst Supported on Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia in Methane Dry Reforming.

Project description:The carbon dioxide reforming of methane has attracted attention from researchers owing to its possibility of both mitigating the hazards of reactants and producing useful chemical intermediates. In this framework, the activity of the nickel-based catalysts, supported by yttria-stabilized zirconia and promoted with holmium oxide (Ho2O3), was assessed in carbon dioxide reforming of methane at 800 °C. The catalysts were characterized by N2-physisorption, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, temperature-programmed desorption of CO2, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The effect of holmium oxide weight percent loading (0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3,0, 4.0, and 5.0 wt %) was examined owing to its impact on the developed catalysts. The optimum loading of Ho2O3 was found to be 4.0 wt %, where the methane and carbon dioxide conversions were 85 and 91%, respectively. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms specified the mesoporous aspect of the catalysts, while the SEM images displayed a morphology of agglomerated, porous particles. The TEM images of the spent catalyst displayed the formation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. TGA of the 4.0 wt % of Ho2O3 catalyst, experimented over 7-hour time-on-stream, displayed little weight loss (<14.0 wt %) owing to carbon formation, indicating the good resistance of the catalyst to carbon accumulation due to the enhancing ability of Ho2O3 and its adjustment of the support.

In Situ X-ray Microscopy Reveals Particle Dynamics in a NiCo Dry Methane Reforming Catalyst under Operating Conditions.

Project description:Herein, we report the synthesis of a ?-Al2O3-supported NiCo catalyst for dry methane reforming (DMR) and study the catalyst using in situ scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) during the reduction (activation step) and under reaction conditions. During the reduction process, the NiCo alloy particles undergo elemental segregation with Co migrating toward the center of the catalyst particles and Ni migrating to the outer surfaces. Under DMR conditions, the segregated structure is maintained, thus hinting at the importance of this structure to optimal catalytic functions. Finally, the formation of Ni-rich branches on the surface of the particles is observed during DMR, suggesting that the loss of Ni from the outer shell may play a role in the reduced stability and hence catalyst deactivation. These findings provide insights into the morphological and electronic structural changes that occur in a NiCo-based catalyst during DMR. Further, this study emphasizes the need to study catalysts under operating conditions in order to elucidate material dynamics during the reaction.

Ultrathin Washcoat and Very Low Loading Monolithic Catalyst with Outstanding Activity and Stability in Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:A Ni/CeO2/ZrO2 catalyst with improved redox properties has been washcoated onto a honeycomb cordierite monolith in the form of a nonconventional alumina-catalyst layer, just a few nanometers thick. In spite of the very low active phase loading, the monolith depicts outstanding performance in dry reforming of methane, both in terms of activity, with values reaching the thermodynamic limit already at 750 °C, even under extreme Weight Hourly Space Velocities (WHSV 115-346 L·g-1·h-1), as well as in terms of stability during prolonged Time on Stream (TOS 24-48 h).

Alumina-Magnesia-Supported Ni for Hydrogen Production via the Dry Reforming of Methane: A Cost-Effective Catalyst System.

Project description:5Ni/MgO and 5Ni/γAl2O3 are pronounced in the line of cheap catalyst systems for the dry reforming of methane. However, the lower reducibility of 5Ni/MgO and the significant coke deposition over 5Ni/γAl2O3 limit their applicability as potential DRM catalysts. The mixing capacity of MgO and Al2O3 may overcome these limitations without increasing the catalyst cost. Herein, a 5Ni/xMg(100 - x)Al (x = 0, 20, 30, 60, 70, and 100 wt. %) catalyst system is prepared, investigated, and characterized with X-ray diffraction, surface area and porosity measurements, H2-temperature programmed reduction, UV-Vis-IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and transmission electron microscopy. Upon the addition of 20 wt. % MgO into the Al2O3 support, 5Ni/20Mg80Al is expanded and carries both stable Ni sites (derived through the reduction of NiAl2O4) and a variety of CO2-interacting species. CH4 decomposition at Ni sites and the potential oxidation of carbon deposits by CO2-interacting species over 5Ni/20Mg80Al results in a higher 61% H2-yield (against ~55% H2-yield over 5Ni/γAl2O3) with an excellent carbon-resistant property. In the major magnesia support system, the 5Ni/60Mg40Al catalyst carries stable Ni sites derived from MgNiO2 and "strongly interacted NiO-species". The H2-yield over the 5Ni/60Mg40Al catalyst moves to 71%, even against a high coke deposition, indicating fine tuning between the carbon formation and diffusion rates. Ni dispersed over magnesia-alumina with weight ratios of 7/3 and 3/7 exhibit good resistance to coke. Weight ratios of 2/8 and 7/3 contain an adequate amount of reducible and CO2-interactive species responsible for producing over 60% of H2-yield. Weight ratio 6/4 has a proper coke diffusion mechanism in addition to achieving a maximum of 71% H2-yield.
