Methane Reformation: Intertwined Nickel and Magnesium Oxide Rival Precious Metals for Catalytic Reforming of Greenhouse Gases (Adv. Sustainable Syst. 6/2020)

Abstract

In article number 2000041, Xiaobo Peng, Hideki Abe and co‐workers report the development of a novel catalyst n‐Ni#MgO, which efficiently converts two major greenhouse gases, methane and carbon dioxide, into value‐added synthesis gas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) at a high reaction selectivity. The nanostructure of n‐Ni#MgO consists of intertwined, fibrous metal nickel and magnesium oxide, and acts as a high‐performance catalysis center.

Synergistic Syngas Production: Needleless Electrospinning Synthesis of Co/CeO2–La2O3 Catalyst for Efficient Dry Reforming of Methane

“…S1 also compares the catalytic performance of structured catalysts in the DRM reaction. Various methods, including solution blow spinning 56, atmospheric treatment 57, sol‐gel 58, microemulsion 59–61, and in situ one‐pot hydrothermal 62 techniques, are employed to synthesize fibrous catalysts, and notable advancements have been made in these techniques. For instance, Nishiguchi et al 57 developed an intertwining fibrous network of n ‐Ni#MgO catalyst through atmospheric treatment followed by acid leaching.…”

For instance, Nishiguchi et al 57 developed an intertwining fibrous network of n ‐Ni#MgO catalyst through atmospheric treatment followed by acid leaching. This catalyst demonstrated outstanding long‐term stability and exhibited higher carbon resistance than impregnated Ni/MgO catalysts, rivaling the performance of noble metal‐based catalysts.…”
