Ni-Ru supported on CeO 2 obtained by mechanochemical milling for catalytic hydrogen production from ammonia. iScience 2024; 27:110028.

Abstract
Developing active and stable catalysts for carbon-free hydrogen production is crucial to mitigate the effects of climate change. Ammonia is a promising carbon-free hydrogen source, as it has a high hydrogen content and is liquid at low pressure, which allows its easy storage and transportation. We have recently developed a nickel-based catalyst with a small content of ruthenium supported on cerium oxide, which exhibits high activity and stability in ammonia decomposition. Here, we investigate mechanochemical milling for its synthesis, a faster and less energy-consuming technique than conventional ones. Results indicate that mechanochemical synthesis increases catalytic activity compared to the conventional incipient wetness impregnation method. The interaction between the metal precursors and the support is key in fine-tuning catalytic activity, which increases linearly with oxygen vacancies in the support. Moreover, the mechanochemical method modifies the oxidation state of Ni and Ru species, with a variation depending on the precursors.

[PMID: 38842469 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202400503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Dry reforming of methane (DRM), the catalytic conversion of CH4 and CO2 into syngas (H2+CO), is an important process closely correlated to the environment and chemical industry. NiAl-based catalysts have been reported to exhibit excellent activity, low cost, and environmental friendliness. At the same time, the rapid deactivation caused by carbon deposition, Ni sintering, and phase transformation exerts great challenges for its large-scale applications. This review summarizes the recent advances in NiAl-based catalysts for DRM, particularly focusing on the strategies to construct efficient and stable NiAl-based catalysts. Firstly, the thermodynamics and elementary steps of DRM, including the activation of reactants and coke formation and elimination, are summarized. The roles of Al2O3 and its mixed oxides as the support, and the influences of the promoters employed in NiAl-based catalysts over the DRM performance, are then illustrated. Finally, the design of anti-coking and anti-sintering NiAl-based catalysts for DRM is suggested as feasible and promising by tailoring the structure and states of Ni and the modification of Al-based supports including small Ni size, high Ni dispersion, proper basicity, strong metal-support interaction (SMSI), active oxygen species as well as high phase stability.

Abstract
A facile and green synthetic strategy is developed in this paper for the construction of an efficient catalyst for the industrially important carbon dioxide reforming of methane, which is also named the dry reforming of methane (DRM). Through controlling the synthetic strategy and Ni content, a high-performance Ni@CeO2 catalyst was successfully fabricated. The catalyst showed superb efficiency for producing the syngas with high and stable conversions at prolonged operating conditions. Incorporating Ni during the ceria (CeO2) crystallization resulted in a more stable structure and smaller nanoparticle (NP) size with a more robust interaction with the support than loading Ni on CeO2 supports by the conventional impregnation method. The H2/CO ratio was almost 1.0, indicating the promising applicability of utilizing the obtained syngas for the Fischer–Tropsch process to produce worthy chemicals. No carbon deposits were observed over the as-synthesized catalyst after operating the DRM reaction for 50.0 h, even at a more coke-favoring temperature (700 ∘C). Owing to the superb resistance to coke and sintering, control of the size of the Ni-NPs, uniform dispersion of the active phase, and potent metal interaction with the support, the synthesized catalyst achieved a magnificent catalytic activity and durability during serving for the DRM reaction for extended operating periods.
