Abstract
Interest in energy-to-X and X-to-energy (where X represents green hydrogen, carbon-based fuels, or ammonia) technologies has expanded the field of electrochemical conversion and storage. Solid oxide electrochemical cells (SOCs) are among the most promising technologies for these processes. Their unmatched conversion efficiencies result from favorable thermodynamics and kinetics at elevated operating temperatures (400-900 °C). These solid-state electrochemical systems exhibit flexibility in reversible operation between fuel cell and electrolysis modes and can efficiently utilize a variety of fuels. However, electrocatalytic materials at SOC electrodes remain nonoptimal for facilitating reversible operation and fuel flexibility. In this Review, we explore the diverse range of electrocatalytic materials utilized in oxygen-ion-conducting SOCs (O-SOCs) and proton-conducting SOCs (H-SOCs). We examine their electrochemical activity as a function of composition and structure across different electrochemical reactions to highlight characteristics that lead to optimal catalytic performance. Catalyst deactivation mechanisms under different operating conditions are discussed to assess the bottlenecks in performance. We conclude by providing guidelines for evaluating the electrochemical performance of electrode catalysts in SOCs and for designing effective catalysts to achieve flexibility in fuel usage and mode of operation.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 229:115963. [PMID: 37105287 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen (H2) is a possible energy transporter and feedstock for energy decarbonization, transportation, and chemical sectors while reducing global warming's consequences. The predominant commercial method for producing H2 today is steam methane reforming (SMR). However, there is still room for development in process intensification, energy optimization, and environmental concerns related to CO2 emissions. Reactors using metallic membranes (MRs) can handle both problems. Compared to traditional reactors, MRs operates at substantially lower pressures and temperatures. As a result, capital and operational costs may be significantly cheaper than traditional reactors. Furthermore, metallic membranes (MMs), particularly Pd and its alloys, naturally permit only H2 permeability, enabling the production of a stream with a purity of up to 99.999%. This review describes several methods for H2 production based on the energy sources utilized. SRM with CO2 capture and storage (CCUS), pyrolysis of methane, and water electrolysis are all investigated as process technologies. A debate based on a color code was also created to classify the purity of H2 generation. Although producing H2 using fossil fuels is presently the least expensive method, green H2 generation has the potential to become an affordable alternative in the future. From 2030 onward, green H2 is anticipated to be less costly than blue hydrogen. Green H2 is more expensive than fossil-based H2 since it uses more energy. Blue H2 has several tempting qualities, but the CCUS technology is pricey, and blue H2 contains carbon. At this time, almost 80-95% of CO2 can be stored and captured by the CCUS technology. Nanomaterials are becoming more significant in solving problems with H2 generation and storage. Sustainable nanoparticles, such as photocatalysts and bio-derived particles, have been emphasized for H2 synthesis. New directions in H2 synthesis and nanomaterials for H2 storage have also been discussed. Further, an overview of the H2 value chain is provided at the end, emphasizing the financial implications and outlook for 2050, i.e., carbon-free H2 and zero-emission H2.

Abstract
This paper presents a computational study of the mechanistic models for the laydown of carbon species on nickel surface facets and the burn-off models for their gasification mechanism in methane steam reforming based on density functional theory. Insights into catalyst design strategies for achieving the simultaneous inhibition of the laydown of polymeric carbon and the promotion of its burn-off are obtained by investigating the influence of single atom dopants on nickel surfaces. The effects of single atom dopants on adsorption energies are determined at both low and high carbon coverages on nickel and used to introduce appropriate thermodynamic descriptors of the associated surface reactions. It is found that the critical size of the nucleating polymeric carbon adatom contains three atoms, i.e., C3. The results show that the burn-off reaction of a polymeric carbon species is thermodynamically limited and hard to promote when the deposited carbon cluster grows beyond a critical size, C4. The introduction of single atom dopants into nickel surfaces is found to modify the structural stability and adsorption energies of carbon adatom species, as well as the free energy profiles of surface reactions for the burn-off reactions when CH4, H2O, H2, and CO species react to form hydrogen. The results reveal that materials development strategies that modify the sub-surface of the catalyst with potassium, strontium, or barium will inhibit carbon nucleation and promote burn-off, while surface doping with niobium, tungsten, or molybdenum will promote the laydown of polymeric carbon. This study provides underpinning insights into the reaction mechanisms for the coking of a nickel catalyst and the gasification routes that are possible for the recovery of a nickel catalyst during the steam reforming of methane for large-scale production of hydrogen.

Abstract
Alloying has long been used as a promising methodology to improve the catalytic performance of metallic materials. In recent years, the field of alloy catalysis has made remarkable progress with the emergence of a variety of novel alloy materials and their functions. Therefore, a comprehensive disciplinary framework for catalytic chemistry of alloys that provides a cross-sectional understanding of the broad research field is in high demand. In this review, we provide a comprehensive classification of various alloy materials based on metallurgy, thermodynamics, and inorganic chemistry and summarize the roles of alloying in catalysis and its principles with a brief introduction of the historical background of this research field. Furthermore, we explain how each type of alloy can be used as a catalyst material and how to design a functional catalyst for the target reaction by introducing representative case studies. This review includes two approaches, namely, from materials and reactions, to provide a better understanding of the catalytic chemistry of alloys. Our review offers a perspective on this research field and can be used encyclopedically according to the readers' individual interests.

Abstract
The methane dry reforming reaction can simultaneously convert two greenhouse gases (CH4 and CO2), which has significantly environmental and economic benefits. Nickel-based catalysts have been widely used in methane dry reforming in past decade due to their low cost and high activity. However, the sintering and coke deposition of catalysts severely limit their industrial applications. In this paper, three Ni/SiO2 catalysts prepared by different methods were systematically studied, and the samples obtained by the ammonia evaporation method exhibited excellent catalytic performance. The characterization results such as H2-TPR, XPS and TEM confirmed that the excellent performance was mainly attributed to the catalyst with smaller Ni particles, stronger metal-support interactions, and abundant Ni-O-Si units on the catalyst surface. The anti-sintering/-coking properties of the catalyst were significantly improved. However, the Ni/SiO2-IM catalyst prepared by impregnation method had uneven distribution of nickel species and large particles, and weak metal-support interactions, showing poor catalytic performance in methane dry reforming. Since the nickel species were encapsulated by the SiO4 tetrahedral network, the Ni/SiO2-SG catalyst prepared by sol-gel method could not expose more effective active sites even if the nickel species were uniformly dispersed, resulting in poor dry reforming performance. This study provides guidance for the preparation of novel anti-sintering/-coking nickel-based catalysts.

Abstract
Ni-based catalysts dispersed on different supports (MgO-α-Al2O3, CeO2, SBA-15, and MgO-SBA-15) were prepared by the impregnation method. Characteristics of the catalysts, including specific surface areas (N2 physisorption), crystalline phase compositions (powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy), reducibility (hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction, H2-TPR), and morphology (scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy, TEM)) were investigated. The activity and stability of the catalysts were tested for the combined steam and CO2 reforming of methane at 700 °C in a microflow system. The results show that the catalysts exhibit high activity in the BRM reaction. At 700 °C, the conversion of CH4 and CO2 reached 86-99% and 67-80%, respectively, in which the Ni/Mg-SBA catalyst is the best with conversions of CH4 and CO2 reaching 99% and 80%. Coke accumulation on the surface of the catalysts for 100 h time on stream (TOS) was evaluated by the temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) technique. The major cause of the catalytic deactivation was elucidated by combining the determination of the amount and type of deposited coke with the changes in the physicochemical properties of the catalysts after the long-term reaction. Almost complete loss of activity was observed on Ni/Mg-Al catalyst after 100 h TOS, while the activity drop was slow on the Ni/Mg-SBA sample, about 15-20% of the total value. Otherwise, the Ni/CeO2 and Ni/SBA catalysts firmly retained their stable activity for 100 h TOS due to the minimal carbon deposition and stability of these catalysts' structure. The highly considerable formation of inert Cγ carbon and sintering over Ni catalyst supported on MgO-α-Al2O3 were responsible for the lower stability of this catalyst compared to those supported on CeO2 and SBA-15.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of CO2 into methane is an attractive method because it can alleviate global warming and provide a solution for the energy depletion crisis. Nickel-based catalysts were commonly employed in such conversions due to their high performance over cost ratio. However, the major challenges are that Ni tends to agglomerate and cause carbon deposition during the high-temperature reaction. In the past decades, extensive works have been carried out to design and synthesize more active nickel-based catalysts to achieve high CO2 conversion and CH4 selectivity. This review critically discusses the recent application of Ni-based catalyst for CO2 methanation, including the progress on the effect of supporting material, promoters, and catalyst composition. The thermodynamics, kinetics, and mechanism of CO2 methanation are also briefly addressed.

Abstract
Biogas, with its high carbon dioxide content (30–50 vol%), is an attractive feed for catalytic methanation with green hydrogen, and is suitable for establishing a closed carbon cycle with methane as energy carrier. The most important questions for direct biogas methanation are how the high methane content influences the methanation reaction and overall efficiency on one hand, and to what extent the methanation catalysts can be made more resistant to various sulfur-containing compounds in biogas on the other hand. Ni-based catalysts are the most favored for economic reasons. The interplay of active compounds, supports, and promoters is discussed regarding the potential for improving sulfur resistance. Several strategies are addressed and experimental studies are evaluated, to identify catalysts which might be suitable for these challenges. As several catalyst functionalities must be combined, materials with two active metals and binary oxide support seem to be the best approach to technically applicable solutions. The high methane content in biogas appears to have a measurable impact on equilibrium and therefore CO2 conversion. Depending on the initial CH4/CO2 ratio, this might lead to a product with higher methane content, and, after work-up, to a drop in-option for existing natural gas grids.

Abstract
In the last few decades, worldwide scientists have been motivated by the promising production of chemicals from the widely existing methane (CH4) under mild conditions for both chemical synthesis with low energy consumption and climate remediation. To achieve this goal, a whole library of catalytic chemistries of transforming CH4 to various products under mild conditions is required to be developed. Worldwide scientists have made significant efforts to reach this goal. These significant efforts have demonstrated the feasibility of oxidation of CH4 to value-added intermediate compounds including but not limited to CH3OH, HCHO, HCOOH, and CH3COOH under mild conditions. The fundamental understanding of these chemical and catalytic transformations of CH4 under mild conditions have been achieved to some extent, although currently neither a catalyst nor a catalytic process can be used for chemical production under mild conditions at a large scale. In the academic community, over ten different reactions have been developed for converting CH4 to different types of oxygenates under mild conditions in terms of a relatively low activation or catalysis temperature. However, there is still a lack of a molecular-level understanding of the activation and catalysis processes performed in extremely complex reaction environments under mild conditions. This article reviewed the fundamental understanding of these activation and catalysis achieved so far. Different oxidative activations of CH4 or catalytic transformations toward chemical production under mild conditions were reviewed in parallel, by which the trend of developing catalysts for a specific reaction was identified and insights into the design of these catalysts were gained. As a whole, this review focused on discussing profound insights gained through endeavors of scientists in this field. It aimed to present a relatively complete picture for the activation and catalytic transformations of CH4 to chemicals under mild conditions. Finally, suggestions of potential explorations for the production of chemicals from CH4 under mild conditions were made. The facing challenges to achieve high yield of ideal products were highlighted and possible solutions to tackle them were briefly proposed.

Abstract
In this work, the introduction of modifying additives in the composition of catalysts is considered as an effective mode of improving functional characteristics of materials for two processes of methane conversion into valuable products – methane dehydroaromatization (DHA of CH4) into benzene and hydrogen and autothermal reforming of methane (ATR of CH4) into synthesis gas. The effect of type and content of promoters on the structural and electronic state of the active component as well as catalyst activity and stability against deactivation is discussed. For DHA of CH4 the operation mode of additives M = Ag, Ni, Fe in the composition of Mo-M/ZSM-5 catalysts was elucidated and correlated with the product yield and coke content. It was shown that when Ag serves as a promoter, the duration of the catalyst stable operation is enhanced due to a decrease in the rate of the coke formation. In the case of Ni and Fe additives, the Ni-Мо and Fe-Mo alloys are formed that retain the catalytic activity for a long time in spite of the carbon accumulation. For ATR of CH4, the influence of M = Pd, Pt, Re, Mo, Sn in the composition of Ni-M catalysts supported on La2O3 or Ce0.5Zr0.5O2/Al2O3 was elucidated. It was demonstrated that for Ni-M/La2O3 catalysts, Pd is a more efficient promoter that improves the reducibility of Ni cations and increases the content of active Nio centers. In the case of Ni-M/Ce0.5Zr0.5O2/Al2O3 samples, Re is considered the best promoter due to the formation of an alloy with anti-coking and anti-sintering properties. The use of catalysts with optimal promoter type and its content provides high efficiency of methane valorization processes.

Abstract
Crude oil upgrading under methane has been reported to be an economically and environmentally promising process, while the advantageous effect of methane beyond a reactant is not fully explained. In this work, the catalytic performances, physicochemical properties and regenerability of used catalysts after crude oil upgrading under methane and nitrogen are investigated by n-butylbenzene model compound studies, catalyst characterizations and density functional theory calculations. Comparing to nitrogen, methane exhibits a protective effect on the charged catalyst despite the limited conversion, leading to better product quality and catalyst stability. This protective effect is attributed to the interaction between methane and catalytic active sites, which mainly occurs in the internal pores of the zeolitic catalyst support, resulting in unique coke distribution and inhibition of metal deposition. The interactive role of methane beyond a reactant, which is previously underestimated, is suggested to be critical for better performances of catalysts in relevant reaction processes.

Abstract
Reforming methane to produce syngas is a subject that generates considerable interest. The process requires catalysts that possess high-performance active sites to activate stable C–H bonds. Herein, we report a facile synthetic strategy to prepare Ni-based catalysts by complexation–impregnation (Ni-G/SiO2-C) and precipitation–impregnation (Ni-G/SiO2-P) methods using glycine as a complexing agent. The particle size of Ni in both types of catalysts is decreased by adding glycine in the preparation process. Nevertheless, the preparation methods and amount of glycine play a significant role in the particle size and distribution of Ni over the Ni-based catalysts. The smaller particle size and narrower distribution of Ni were obtained in the Ni-G/SiO2-P catalyst. The catalysts were comparatively tested for carbon-dioxide reforming of methane (CDR). Ni-G/SiO2-P showed better CDR performance than Ni-G/SiO2-C and Ni/SiO2 and increased stability because of the smaller particle size and narrower distribution of Ni. Moreover, a high-performance Ni-based catalyst was prepared by optimizing the amount of glycine added. An unobservable deactivation was obtained over Ni-G-2/SiO2-P and Ni-G-3/SiO2-P for CDR during TOS = 20 h. Thus, a new promising method is described for the preparation of Ni-based catalysts for CDR.

Abstract
There is a need for a catalyst that can directly convert methane into useful substances. The use of Ni as a catalyst for the steam reforming of methane has led us to look at Ni nanoclusters as potential candidates for the direct conversion of methane. Fe, Co, Cu, and Zn nanoclusters are also focused on. How the type of C1 fragments (CH4, CH3, CH2, CH, and C) stabilized by the metal nanoclusters as adsorbed species varies with metal species is theoretically investigated. The particle swarm optimization algorithm, which is based on swarm intelligence, as well as density functional theory, is used for this calculation. The Ni nanoclusters are found to preferentially adsorb C as a stable species, the Fe and the Co nanoclusters both CH and CH3, and the Cu nanoclusters CH3; the Zn nanoclusters are found not to chemisorb any C1 fragment. The methane activation capacity can be ranked in the order of Ni > Fe > Co > Cu > Zn. The highest methane activation capacity of Ni is due to the strongest covalent nature of the interaction between Ni and the adsorbed species. The ionicity of the bond between Fe and the adsorbed species is higher than that between Co and the adsorbed species, while the covalent nature of the bonds is comparable for both. The weak methane activation ability of Cu compared to Fe, Co, and Ni is found to be due to the fact that both the covalent and ionic bond strengths between Cu and the adsorbed species are weak. Zn and the adsorbed species form neither ionic nor covalent bonds. These results indicate that the Fe and the Co nanoclusters as well as the Ni may lead to the over-oxidation of methane, whereas the Zn nanoclusters cannot activate methane in the first place; therefore, their application to direct methane conversion catalysts is unlikely. Since the Cu nanoclusters do not adsorb C and CH as stable species, but CH3 stably, the Cu nanoclusters are expected to work as a catalyst for the direct conversion of methane.

Abstract
The correlation between the occurrence state of surface Pd species of Pd/CeO2 for lean CH4 combustion is investigated. Herein, by using a reduction-deposition method, we have synthesized a highly active 0.5% PdO/CeO2-RE catalyst, in which the Pd nanoparticles are evenly dispersed on the CeO2 nanorods CeO2-R. Based on comprehensive characterization, we have revealed that the uniformly dispersed Pd nanoparticles with a particle size distribution of 2.3 ± 0.6 nm are responsible for the generation of PdO and PdxCe1−xO2−δ phase with –Pd2+–O2−–Ce4+– linkage, which can easily provide oxygen vacancies and facilitate the transfer of reactive oxygen species between the CeO2-R and Pd species. As a consequence, the remarkable catalytic activity of 0.5% Pd/CeO2-RE is related to the high concentration of PdO species on the surface of the catalyst and the synergistic interaction between the Pd species and the CeO2 nanorod.

Abstract
Development of a transition metal based catalyst aiming at concomitant high activity and stability attributed to distinguished catalytic characteristics is considered as the bottleneck for dry reforming of methane (DRM). This work highlights the role of modifying zirconia (ZrO2) and alumina (Al2O3) supported nickel based catalysts using lanthanum oxide (La2O3) varying from 0 to 20 wt% during dry reforming of methane. The mesoporous catalysts with improved BET surface areas, improved dispersion, relatively lower reduction temperatures and enhanced surface basicity are identified after La2O3 doping. These factors have influenced the catalytic activity and higher hydrogen yields are found for La2O3 modified catalysts as compared to base catalysts (5 wt% Ni-ZrO2 and 5 wt% Ni-Al2O3). Post-reaction characterizations such as TGA have showed less coke formation over La2O3 modified samples. Raman spectra indicates decreased graphitization for La2O3 catalysts. The 5Ni-10La2O3-ZrO2 catalyst produced 80% hydrogen yields, 25% more than that of 5Ni-ZrO2. 5Ni-15La2O3-Al2O3 gave 84% hydrogen yields, 8% higher than that of 5Ni-Al2O3. Higher CO2 activity improved the surface carbon oxidation rate. From the study, the extent of La2O3 loading is dependent on the type of oxide support.

Abstract
The Ni-based catalysts have a wide range of industrial applications due to its low cost, but its activity of CO2 methanation is not comparable to that of precious metal catalysts. In order to solve this problem, Ni-based mesoporous Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 solid solution catalysts doped with rare earth were prepared by the incipient impregnation method and directly used as catalysts for the methanation of CO2. The catalysts were characterized systematically by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H2 temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), CO2 temperature programmed desorption (CO2-TPD), and so on. The results show that Ni is highly dispersed in the mesoporous skeleton, forming a strong metal-skeleton interaction. Therefore, under the condition of CO2 methanation, the hot sintering of metallic Ni nanoparticles can be effectively inhibited so that these mesoporous catalysts have good stability without obvious deactivation. The rare earth doping can significantly increase the surface alkalinity of catalyst and enhance the chemisorption of CO2. In addition, the rare earth elements also act as electron modifiers to help activate CO2 molecules. Therefore, the rare earth doped Ni-based mesoporous Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 solid solution catalysts are expected to be an efficient catalyst for the methanation of CO2 at low-temperature.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation of CH4 is known to be inefficient in aqueous electrolytes. The lower activity of methane oxidation reaction (MOR) is primarily attributed to the dominant oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the higher barrier for CH4 activation on transition metal oxides (TMOs). However, a satisfactory explanation for the origins of such lower activity of MOR on TMOs, along with the enabling strategies to partially oxidize CH4 to CH3OH, have not been developed yet. We report here the activation of CH4 is governed by a previously unrecognized consequence of electrostatic (or Madelung) potential of metal atom in TMOs. The measured binding energies of CH4 on 12 different TMOs scale linearly with the Madelung potentials of the metal in the TMOs. The MOR active TMOs are the ones with higher CH4 binding energy and lower Madelung potential. Out of 12 TMOs studied here, only TiO2, IrO2, PbO2, and PtO2 are active for MOR, where the stable active site is the O on top of the metal in TMOs. The reaction pathway for MOR proceeds primarily through *CH x intermediates at lower potentials and through *CH3OH intermediates at higher potentials. The key MOR intermediate *CH3OH is identified on TiO2 under operando conditions at higher potential using transient open-circuit potential measurement. To minimize the overoxidation of *CH3OH, a bimetallic Cu2O3 on TiO2 catalysts is developed, in which Cu reduces the barrier for the reaction of *CH3 and *OH and facilitates the desorption of *CH3OH. The highest faradaic efficiency of 6% is obtained using Cu-Ti bimetallic TMO.

Abstract
Although ethanol dry reforming is an attractive carbon utilization technology, problems of severe coke formation and low catalytic activity should be solved for realization of the technology. We demonstrate the effects of alkali metal additives (lithium, sodium, and potassium) on nickel catalyzed ethanol dry reforming. Potassium doped nickel catalyst (Ni/K2O-Al2O3) showed enhanced catalytic activity and durability in ethanol dry reforming. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that Ni/K2O-Al2O3 had a high resistance to coke formation. The amounts of coke formed on Ni/K2O-Al2O3 were 1/3 lower than the amounts of coke formed on Ni/Al2O3. The total coke quantities were closely correlated to the number of basic sites of the nickel catalysts. Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed that the alkali metals control the coke formation on the catalysts.
