Catalytic decomposition of natural gas for COx-free hydrogen production in a structured multilayer reactor

Theoretical analysis and experimental investigation of hydrogen production by thermo-catalytic decomposition of methane

“…Salmones and coworkers [74] the tip of the CNTs/CNFs, maintaining the high accessibility of the catalyst for successive reaction. Italiano [75,76] had observed Ni and Co supported catalysts and postulated that sintering of the catalyst particles and formation of filamentous carbon with metal particle at tip were two reasons for the destruction and deactivation of the catalyst. One efficient solution for preventing Ni sintering is the addition of Mg and La species rather than K and Cl.…”
