Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a promising technology for syngas production from CH4 and CO2. However, discovering feasible and efficient catalysts remains challenging despite recent advancements in machine learning. Herein, we present a novel probabilistic prediction-based, high-throughput screening methodology that demonstrates outstanding performance, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.936 and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 6.66. Additionally, experimental validation was performed using 20 distinct catalysts to ensure the accurate verification of the model, 17 of which were previously unreported combinations. Our model accurately predicts CH4 conversion rates and probability values by considering catalyst design, pretreatment, and operating variables, providing reliable insights into catalyst performance. The proposed probabilistic prediction-based screening methodology, which we introduce for the first time in the field of catalysis, holds significant potential for accelerating the discovery of catalysts for DRM reactions and expanding their application scope in other crucial industrial processes. Thus, the methodology effectively addresses a key challenge in the development of active catalysts for energy and environmental research.

Biodiesel produced from different edible and non‐edible feedstocks is a viable alternative option for fueling a combustion engine. However, the widespread use of edible sources for biodiesel production may lead to food versus fuel controversy. Oil from non‐edible feedstock is best possible solution for problems that inhibits biodiesel production on commercial scale. This study presents the potential of different non‐edible feedstock for biodiesel production. Several aspects such as extraction technologies used for extracting oil from non‐edible sources and biodiesel production pathways from non‐edible feedstocks are discussed. The quality of biodiesel should be assured before its commercialization by different physical and chemical characterization techniques are used. In particular, the emission comparison of biodiesel derived from the different non‐edible feedstocks is discussed. Based on this study, the non‐edible feedstocks have the potential to produce biodiesel but still it has a long way to go. This is due to non‐edible feedstock is in the R&D phase and needs more research to eliminate additional treatment steps compared to edible feedstock for economic aspects. Furthermore, there has been a trade off in emission properties of biodiesels produced from non‐edible feedstocks which must be removed or evaluated for pilot scale investigations before commercialization.

“…One of the most popular options to overcome these problems is employing the second metal which calls promoter. − For instance, Movasati et al reported that Ce had a positive influence on the catalytic activity and stability of the Ni/ZnAl 2 O 4 catalyst along with reducing the amount of coke formation. It was found that MgO, CaO, and BaO, as alkaline earth metals promoters, improved the catalytic activity of Ni/Al 2 O 3 , in a way that promoted catalysts had higher conversions and lower carbon deposition in comparison with non-promoted catalysts.…”

To date, various promoters (noble and non-noble metals) have been employed to improve the activity of the nickel-based catalysts in dry methane reforming (DMR), an essential and challenging endothermic chemical reaction. In this study, for the first time, we thoroughly investigated the promotional effect of cadmium over Ni@γ-Al 2 O 3 for DMR (CH 4 /CO 2 = 1:1) under four temperatures (600−750 °C). In this line, several monometallic and bimetallic catalysts based on the commercial aluminum oxide anhydrous were synthesized through precipitation−deposition. The synthesized catalysts (Cd/Ni@ Al 2 O 3 ) were characterized by utilizing N 2 adsorption−desorption (BET), X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, H 2 temperature-programmed reduction, CO 2 temperature-programmed desorption (CO 2 -TPD), H 2 temperature-programmed desorption (H 2 -TPD), thermal gravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Based on the obtained results, alloying nickel with cadmium amplified nickel particles' reducibility and significantly increased its dispersion (dilution effect) and basicity of the prepared catalysts. These features resulted in the high activity and stability of Cd(5%)/Ni(15%)@Al 2 O 3 in DMR reaction under 600−750 °C. Remarkably, this catalytic process showed high resistance toward coke formation (graphite carbon about 10%) and excellent activity after a 30 h catalytic run at 700 °C.
