Abstract
Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a very promising protocol to mitigate the greenhouse gases by making use of CO 2 and CH 4 to produce valuable syngas. Ni-Based catalysts exhibit high activity and low cost for DRM, but suffer from inferior stability because of serious carbon deposition. Herein, we proposed atomically dispersed Ni supported by ceria-upgraded boron nitride whose specific activity exceeds that of boron nitride supported Ni by 3 times. The results of temperature programmed surface reaction show ceria enhanced the adsorption of CO 2 and its surface-active oxygen species would contribute to the activation of CH 4 . Moreover, Ni exhibited a strong metal-support interaction which suppressed the metal sintering during DRM reaction while the incorporation of BN could suppress carbon deposition. The incorporation of active metal oxides into inert support provides a route to adjust the interaction between metal and support and achieve the synergistic promoting in catalytic performance.
