“…Table lists examples of modifying metal and solid acid catalysts to suppress coke formation in biomass conversion reactions. For instance, there have been several strategies proposed to increase the stability of supported metal catalysts, especially Ni catalysts, for biomass gasification, including adding metal oxides (for example, MgO, CeO 2 , , and MnO x , ) or noble metals (for example, Ru and Ir), alloying the active metal with other transition metals (for example, Pt, Fe, Co), choosing suitable supports (for example, CeO 2 , MgO, , and carbon-based support − ), and modifying the pore structure of support materials. , In general, it is proposed that the improved coke resistance is due to (1) the synergetic interaction between Ni and the dopants, which generates active oxygen species to facilitate the gasification of coke, ,,, (2) the decreased acidity, which reduce the coke formation rate, , and (3) the improved gas diffusion, which facilitates the removal of products to avoid secondary coking reactions. , …”
