The prepared catalysts were evaluated by a series of characterization techniques including BET, XRD, SEM, EDX-mapping, TEM, H_2-TPR, XPS, NH_3-TPD and Py-FTIR. Compared to Ni/Al_2O_3 catalyst, the SiO_2-doped samples exhibited better B_3D conversion. SiO_2 could help to form a strong interaction between NiO with the support, which inhibited Ni agglomeration at high temperature, improved the Ni dispersion, and enhanced the hydrogenation activity. B_1D selectivity was mainly influenced by the quantity of Lewis acid sites in addition to the Ni dispersion. The catalyst with a silica loading of 6.4% demonstrated an excellent selectivity of 75.18%(by 13% higher than the contrastive Ni/Al_2O_3 catalyst), which was attributed to the larger amount of Lewis acid sites and the moderate interaction between NiO with the support, which could facilitate the nickel dispersion on a preferable surface area of 176.3 m^2/g of support.展开更多

The influence of reaction temperature, pretreatment temperature, and effect of reductive pretreatment on the decomposition of methane activity is investigated. The physico-chemical characteristics of fresh and deactivated samples were characterized using BET-SA, XRD, TPR, SEM/TEM, CHNS analyses and correlated with the methane decomposition results obtained. The Ni-Al-Si （4 ： 0.5 ： 1.5） catalyst reduced with hydrazine hydrate produced better H2 yields of ca. 1815 mol H2/mol Ni than the catalyst reduced with 5% H2/N2.展开更多

The effects of Cu content, support species involving Al2O3-SIO2, Al2O3-MgO, Al2O3-ZnO, and Al2O3-La2O3, on the catalytic performance were studied. Characterizations by TPR, XRD, NH3-TPD, XPS, and TGA indicated that catalysts 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-MgO and 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-ZnO have much higher H2 selectivity than 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-SiO2, as well as good coke resistance. H2 selectivity for 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-MgO catalyst was 73.3% at 450 ℃ and increased to 94.0% at 600℃, whereas for 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-ZnO catalyst, the H2 selectivity was 63.6% at 450 ℃ and 95.2% at 600℃. TheseAl2O3-MgO and Al2O3-ZnO supported Ni-Cu bimetallic catalysts may have important applications in the production of hydrogen by ethanol steam reforming reactions.展开更多

It is found that support particle size has significant influences on physiochemical properties and catalytic activity of the resulting Ni/Al2O3 catalyst, but little influence on the selec-tivity. At a comparable amount of Ni loading, the catalytic activity of Ni/Al2O3 prepared with alumina support of smaller particle size is lower. The reduction behavior of the catalyst is a key factor in determining the catalytic activity of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. The supported nickel catalyst 10.3Ni/Al2O3-3 improves the life span of the membrane by reducing fouling on the membrane surface compared to nano-sized nickel.展开更多

It is found that there is a metal semiconductor interaction (MScI) in the Ni Ce catalyst, and the effect of MScI on the carbon deposition of CH 4 decomposition is opposite to that of C 2H 4. A novel model of carbon deposition of CH 4 or C 2H 4 decomposition was proposed.展开更多

Adjusting the surface acid-base properties of catalysts by introduction of alkali metal （Na, K） oxides inhibits the carbonization and as a result, improves the operational stability of these catalysts. An effect of promotion of nickel-alumina based composite doped by lanthanum oxide is found. This effect, caused by an additional route for the CO2 activation on Ni-La2O3/Al2O3/cordierite catalyst, is displayed in increase of methane conversion under conditions of an oxidant excess.展开更多
