“…The effect of the support was also investigated in Cu/ZrAl-based catalysts, showing that the Zr/Al molar ratio of 0.4, in the support, improve the interaction between copper species and the support, resulting in a homogeneous distribution of highly dispersed Cu, with enhanced reducibility [39]. In a comparative study between different alumina supports, the commercial A520 MOF derived G-Al 2 O 3 , in copper and palladium catalysts, has showed superior outcomes, attributed to the higher surface area, larger pore volume and possible defects in nanoscale alumina [40]. Different synthesis methods were also evaluated for CuZn/MCM-41 catalysts, revealing that the co-impregnation is the most effective method [41].…”

Due to its characteristics, hydrogen is considered the energy carrier of the future. Its use as a fuel generates reduced pollution, as if burned it almost exclusively produces water vapor. Hydrogen can be produced from numerous sources, both of fossil and renewable origin, and with as many production processes, which can use renewable or non-renewable energy sources. To achieve carbon neutrality, the sources must necessarily be renewable, and the production processes themselves must use renewable energy sources. In this review article the main characteristics of the most used hydrogen production methods are summarized, mainly focusing on renewable feedstocks, furthermore a series of relevant articles published in the last year, are reviewed. The production methods are grouped according to the type of energy they use; and at the end of each section the strengths and limitations of the processes are highlighted. The conclusions compare the main characteristics of the production processes studied and contextualize their possible use.

“…This leads to the increased concentration of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, which are the reactants in the reverse water gas shift reaction, and thus, the possibility of CO formation increases. [82][83][84][85][86][87] In addition, among silica-alumina-supported catalysts, the catalysts with less total acidity (and less Brønsted sites) perform better. However, it should be noted that parameters such as support electronegativity can also have a higher priority in the catalyst performance than the catalyst acidity.…”

SiO 2 -, Al 2 O 3 -, and SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -based catalysts containing different Si/Al ratios have been prepared to study the effect of the support nature on the methanol steam reforming process catalyst. Methanol steam reforming reaction was carried out using each of the catalysts in the temperature range of 150 C to 300 C, weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 1.8 h À1 , and atmospheric conditions in a quartz reactor. The properties of the synthesized catalysts were determined by the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), H 2 -temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) techniques. SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -based catalysts showed better performance (yield @300 C: 87.2%

“…This overcomes the shortcomings of conventional catalysts, such as (1) short life span due to coking, (2) low surface area-active sites for enhancing the carbonization reaction, and (3) nonhomogeneous dispersion of metal sites. 31 , 32 The first study that reported on the incorporation of MOF into Ni-based catalysts for the DRM process can be dated back to 2019 in the study by Chin et al 33 They had prepared a bimetallic (Ni-Ce) MOF-derived catalyst in the DRM process and proved that the application of MOF as a precursor improved its catalytic performance as the MOF application had successfully produced higher-dispersed particles. It is then followed by Karam et al, 25 who have synthesized a highly porous Ni-Al/MOF MIL-53 for the DRM reaction in 2020.…”

Future Paradigm of 3D Printed Ni-Based Metal Organic Framework Catalysts for Dry Methane Reforming: Techno-economic and Environmental Analyses

Dry reforming of biogas is referred as an attractive path for sustainable H 2 production over decades. Meanwhile, in the Malaysian context, the abundance of palm oil mill effluent (POME) produced annually is deemed as a potential renewable source for renewable energy generation. Conventionally, nickel (Ni) is the most common catalyst used in the industrial-scale dry reforming of methane (DRM) to yield H 2 , but it is subject to the drawbacks of sintering and deactivation after a long reaction time at high temperatures (>500 °C). Therefore, this work aims to provide an insight on the feasibility of the application of modified Ni-based catalysts in DRM, specifically in the economic and environmental aspects. From the benchmarking study of various Ni-based catalysts (e.g., bimetallic (Ni-Ce/Al 2 O 3 ), alumina support (Ni/Al 2 O 3 ), protonated titanate nanotube (Ni-HTNT), and unsupported), the Ni-MOF catalyst, notably, had proven its prominence in both economic and environmental aspects on the same basis of 10 tonnes of H 2 production. The MOF-based catalyst not only possessed a better economic performance (net present value 61.86%, 140%, and 563.08% higher than that of Ni-Ce/Al 2 O 3, Ni/Al 2 O 3 , and Ni-HTNT) but also had relatively lower carbon emissions (13.18%, 20.09%, and 75.72% lower than that of Ni/Al 2 O 3 , Ni-HTNT, and unsupported Ni). This work also accounted for 3D printing technology for the mass production of Ni-MOF catalysts, where the net present value was 2 to 3% higher than that of the conventional production method. Additionally, sensitivity analysis showed that the H 2 price has the greatest impact on the feasibility of DRM as compared to other cost factors.
