Abstract

Background

The quest to manufacture large amounts of syngas to bridge fossil fuels and the renewable energy ecosystem stimulates the creation of efficient and stable heterogeneous catalysts. The NiCeO₂ catalysts, synthesized via ultrasonic-assisted citric acid complexation, are highly efficient for the dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction. Different promoter metals (Zr, La and Sr) were tested for catalytic performance and syngas production. A range of analyses, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ physisorption, H₂ temperature-programmed reduction, CO₂ temperature-programmed desorption, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties of the catalysts.

Results

XRD results indicated the formation of NiO, CeO₂, solid solution ceria–zirconia, perovskite LaNiO₃ and SrNiO₃ crystalline phases. FESEM results showed the promoted catalysts (Zr, La, Sr) produce large pores to facilitate reactant diffusion, with zirconia specifically creating a spiderweb morphology. At 800 °C, the CH₄ and CO₂ conversions follow the sequence of NiCeO₂ catalyst (CH₄ = 54%, CO₂ = 45%) < Sr/NiCeO₂ (CH₄ = 60%, CO₂ = 67%) < La/NiCeO₂ (CH₄ = 85%, CO₂ = 84%) < Zr/NiCeO₂ (CH₄ = 95%, CO₂ = 87%). The integration of promoters in DRM catalysts has notably improved carbon formation resistance, as evidenced by the following ranking: Zr/NiCeO₂ (5.1 wt%) < commercial catalyst (6.0 wt%) < La/NiCeO₂ (7.85 wt%) < Sr/NiCeO₂ (10.9 wt%) < NiCeO₂ (11.3 wt%).

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that incorporating promoters, particularly Zr, in NiCeO₂ significantly enhances resistance to carbon formation. It offers valuable insights into selecting metal catalyst promoters for excellent catalytic performance in DRM. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

探索掺杂金属的 X-Ni/CeO2（X = Zr、La、Sr）在甲烷干转化过程中的催化性能，以提高合成气产量

背景为生产大量合成气，在化石燃料和可再生能源生态系统之间架起一座桥梁，对高效、稳定的异相催化剂的需求不断增长。通过超声波辅助柠檬酸络合合成的 NiCeO2 催化剂在甲烷干转化（DRM）反应中具有很高的效率。对不同的促进金属（Zr、La 和 Sr）的催化性能和合成气产量进行了测试。采用了一系列分析方法，包括 X 射线衍射 (XRD)、N2 物理吸附、H2 温度编程还原、CO2 温度编程解吸、场发射扫描电子显微镜 (FESEM)、透射电子显微镜和 X 射线光电子能谱，来表征催化剂的物理化学特性。结果 XRD 结果表明形成了 NiO、CeO2、固溶体铈氧化锆、包晶 LaNiO3 和 SrNiO3 结晶相。FESEM 结果表明，促进催化剂（Zr、La、Sr）产生了大孔，以促进反应物的扩散，特别是氧化锆形成了蛛网状形态。800 °C 时，CH4 和 CO2 的转化率依次为 NiCeO2 催化剂（CH4 = 54%，CO2 = 45%）；Sr/NiCeO2（CH4 = 60%，CO2 = 67%）；La/NiCeO2（CH4 = 85%，CO2 = 84%）；Zr/NiCeO2（CH4 = 95%，CO2 = 87%）。在 DRM 催化剂中加入促进剂可显著提高抗碳形成能力，具体排名如下：Zr/NiCeO2（5.1 wt%）；商用催化剂（6.0 wt%）；La/NiCeO2（7.85 wt%）；Sr/NiCeO2（10.9 wt%）；NiCeO2（11.3 wt%）。结论本研究表明，在 NiCeO2 中加入促进剂（尤其是 Zr）可显著提高抗碳形成的能力。它为在 DRM 中选择金属催化剂促进剂以获得优异的催化性能提供了宝贵的见解。© 2024 化学工业协会 (SCI)。
