Abstract
A large amount of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are released during the production process of bioethanol and biogas. Converting CO2 into methane is a promising way of capturing CO2 and generating high-value gas. At present, CO2 methanation technology is still in the early stage. It requires high temperature (300-400 ℃) and pressure (> 1 MPa), leading to high cost and energy consumption. In this study, a new catalyst, Ni-Fe/Al-Ti, was developed. Compared with the activity of the common Ni/Al2O3 catalyst, that of the new catalyst was increased by 1/3, and its activation temperature was reduced by 100℃. The selectivity of methane was increased to 99%. In the experiment using simulated fermentation gas, the catalyst showed good catalytic activity and durability at a low temperature and atmospheric pressure. Based on the characterization of catalysts and the study of reaction mechanisms, this article innovatively proposed a Ni-Fe/Al-Ti quaternary catalytic system. Catalytic process was realized through the synergism of Al-Ti composite support and Ni-Fe promotion. The oxygen vacancies on the surface of the composite carrier and the higher activity metals and alloys promoted by Fe accelerate the capture and reduction of CO2. Compared with the existing catalysts, the new Ni-Fe/Al-Ti catalyst can significantly improve the methanation efficiency and has great practical application potential.

Abstract
CO2 methanation has attracted considerable attention as a promising strategy for recycling CO2 and generating valuable methane. This study presents a niobium-doped CeO2-supported Ni catalyst (Ni/NbCe), which demonstrates remarkable performance in terms of CO2 conversion and CH4 selectivity, even when operating at a low temperature of 250 °C. Structural analysis reveals the incorporation of Nb species into the CeO2 lattice, resulting in the formation of a Nb-Ce-O solid solution. Compared with the Ni/CeO2 catalyst, this solid solution demonstrates an improved spatial distribution. To comprehend the impact of the Nb-Ce-O solid solution on refining the electronic properties of the Ni-Ce interfacial sites, facilitating H2 activation, and accelerating the hydrogenation of CO2* into HCOO*, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted. These investigations shed light on the mechanism through which the activity of CO2 methanation is enhanced, which differs from the commonly observed CO* pathway triggered by oxygen vacancies (OV). Consequently, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between the electronic properties of the catalyst's active sites and the reaction pathway in CO2 methanation over Ni-based catalysts.

Abstract
Nonthermal plasma (NTP)-assisted catalytic dry reforming of methane (DRM) is considered a powerful single-stage reaction mechanism because of its ability to activate normally stable CO2 and CH4 at a low temperature under ambient conditions. The thermodynamic barrier of DRM requires a high operating temperature (>700 °C), which can be reduced by nonequilibrium plasma. Herein, we present a method for the wet-impregnation synthesis of CeO2 nanorod (NR)-supported 5 and 15 wt % NiO catalysts for efficient NTP-promoted DRM with an applied power in the range of 24.9-25.8 W (frequency: 20 kHz), a CH4:CO2 feed gas ratio of 100:250 sccm, and a total flow rate of 350 sccm. The presence of NTP dramatically increased the reaction activity, even at 150 °C, which is usually inaccessible for thermally catalyzed DRM. The CH4 and CO2 conversion reaches a maximum of 66 and 48%, respectively, at 500 °C with the 15 wt % NiO/CeO2 NR catalyst, which are much higher than the values obtained for the 5 wt % NiO/CeO2 NR catalyst under the same conditions. According to the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy profile for 15 wt % NiO/CeO2 NR, a higher concentration of NiO on CeO2 increases the proportion of Ce3+ in the catalyst, suggesting enhanced oxygen vacancy concentration with an increased amount of NiO loading. Additionally, a higher NiO loading promotes a higher rate of replacement of Ce4+ with Ni2+, which generates more oxygen vacancies due to the induced charge imbalance and lattice distortion within the CeO2 lattice. As a result, it can be inferred that the incorporation of Ni ions into the CeO2 structure resulted in inhibited growth of CeO2 crystals due to the creation of a NixCe1-xO2-α solid solution and the production of oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
The upgradation of methane in biogas by hydrogenation of CO2 has been currently recognized as a promising route for efficient full utilization of renewable biogas with potential benefits for storage of renewable hydrogen energy and abatement of greenhouse gas emission. As a main constituent of biogas, CO2 can act as a backbone for the formation of additional CH4 by hydrogenation, then producing higher amounts of biomethane. In this work, the upgradation process was investigated in a prototype reactor of double pass operation with vertical alignment using an optimized Ni-Ce/Al-MCM-41 catalyst. The experimental results show that the double pass operation that removes water vapor during the run can significantly increase CO2 conversion, resulting in higher CH4 production yield. As a result, the purity of biomethane increased by 15% higher than a single pass operation. In addition, search for optimum condition of the process was carried out within an investigated range of conditions including flowrate (77-1108 ml min-1), pressure (1 atm-20 bar), and temperature (200-500 °C). The durability test for 458 h was performed using the obtained optimum condition, and it shows that the optimized catalyst can perform excellent stability with negligible influence by the observed change in catalyst properties. The comprehensive characterization on physicochemical properties of fresh and spent catalysts was performed, and the results were discussed.

Abstract
The increasing concentration of anthropogenic CO2 in the air is one of the main causes of global warming. The Paris Agreement at COP 21 aims to reach the global peak of greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of this century, with CO2 conversion towards valuable added compounds being one of the main strategies, especially in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. In the current search for new catalysts, the deposition of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) supported on metal oxides and metal carbide surfaces paves the way to new catalytic solutions. This review provides a comprehensive description and analysis of the relevant literature on the utilization of metal-supported NPs as catalysts for CO2 conversion to useful chemicals and propose that the next catalysts generation can be led by single-metal-atom deposition, since in general, small metal particles enhance the catalytic activity. Among the range of potential indicators of catalytic activity and selectivity, the relevance of NPs’ size, the strong metal–support interactions, and the formation of vacancies on the support are exhaustively discussed from experimental and computational perspective.

Abstract
In this paper, NiO, La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF) and (CeO2)0.8(Sm2O3)0.2 (SDC) nanopowders with different microstructures were obtained using hydrothermal and glycol-citrate methods. The microstructural features of the powders were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained oxide powders were used to form functional inks for the sequential microextrusion printing of NiO-SDC, SDC and LSCF-SDC coatings with resulting three-layer structures of (NiO-SDC)/SDC/(LSCF-SDC) composition. The crystal structures of these layers were studied using an X-ray diffraction analysis, and the microstructures were studied using atomic force microscopy. Scanning capacitance microscopy was employed to build maps of capacitance gradient distribution over the surface of the oxide layers, and Kelvin probe force microscopy was utilized to map surface potential distribution and to estimate the work function values of the studied oxide layers. Using SEM and an energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis, the cross-sectional area of the formed three-layer structure was analyzed-the interfacial boundary and the chemical element distribution over the surface of the cross-section were investigated. Using impedance spectroscopy, the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity was also determined for the printed three-layer nanostructure.

Abstract
CO/CO2 hydrogenation has attracted much attention as a pathway to achieve carbon neutrality and production of synthetic natural gas (SNG). In this work, two-dimensional NiAl layered double oxide (2D NiAl-LDO) has been successfully decorated by SiO2 nanoparticles derived from SiCl4 and used as CO/CO2 methanation catalysts. The as-obtained H-SiO2-NiAl-LDO exhibited a large specific surface area of 201 m2/g as well as high ratio of metallic Ni0 species and surface adsorption oxygen that were beneficial for low-temperature methanation of CO/CO2. The conversion of CO methanation was 99% at 400 °C, and that of CO2 was 90% at 350 °C. At 250 °C, the CO methanation reached 85% whereas that of CO2 reached 23% at 200 °C. We believe that this provides a simple method to improve the methanation performance of CO and CO2 and a strategy for the modification of other similar catalysts.

Abstract
The nanorod morphology of the CeO2 support has been recognized as more beneficial than other morphologies for catalytic activity in the dry reforming of methane. Ni/nanorod-CeO2 catalysts with different Ni contents were prepared by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), H2-temperature-programmed desorption (H2-TPD), field emission scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (FE-SEM/EDS), Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET) and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BHJ) analysis. The effect of Ni content on the size and the intrinsic strain of ceria was analyzed by the Size–Strain plot and Williamson–Hall plot of XRD data. The average Ni particle size and Ni dispersion were determined by H2-TPD. XRD and H2-TPR analysis revealed a strong Ni–support interaction that limited nickel sintering. The activity for the dry reforming of methane was tested with the stoichiometric mixture CO2:CH4:N2:He = 20:20:20:140, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) = 300 L g−1 h−1, and temperatures in the range of 545–800 °C. The turnover frequency (TOF) value increased linearly with the average Ni particle size in the range of 5.5–33 nm, suggesting the structure sensitivity of the reaction. Samples with Ni loading of 4–12 wt.% showed high H2/CO selectivity and stability over time on stream, whereas the sample with a Ni loading of 2 wt.% was less selective and underwent rapid deactivation. Only a small amount of nanotubular carbon was observed by FE-SEM after the time-on-stream experiment. Deactivation of the low-Ni-content sample is ascribed to the easier oxidation of the small Ni particles.

Abstract
Highly active and selective CO2 methanation catalysts are critical to CO2 upgrading, synthetic natural gas production, and CO2 emission reduction. Wet impregnation is widely used to synthesize oxide-supported metallic nanoparticles as the catalyst for CO2 methanation. However, as the reagents cannot be homogeneously mixed at an atomic level, it is challenging to modulate the microstructure, crystal structure, chemical composition, and electronic structure of catalysts via wet impregnation. Herein, a scalable and straightforward catalyst fabrication approach has been designed and validated to produce Sm0.25Ce0.75O2-δ-supported Ni (SDC-Ni) as the CO2 methanation catalyst. By varying the chelating agents-to-total metal cations ratio (C/I ratio) during the catalyst synthesis, we can readily and simultaneously modulate the microstructure, metallic surface area, crystal structure, chemical composition, and electronic structure of SDC-Ni, consequently fine-tuning the oxide-support interactions and CO2 methanation activity. The optimal C/I ratio (0.1) leads to an SDC-Ni catalyst that facilitates C-O bond cleavage and significantly improves CO2 conversion at 250 °C. A CO2-to-CH4 yield of >73% has been achieved at 250 °C. Furthermore, a stable operation of >1500 hours has been demonstrated, and no degradation is observed. Extensive characterizations were performed to fundamentally understand how to tune and enhance CO2 methanation activity of SDC-Ni by modulating the C/I ratio. The correlation of physical, chemical, and catalytic properties of SDC-Ni with the C/I ratio is established and thoroughly elaborated in this work. This study could be applied to tune the oxide-support interactions of various catalysts for enhancing the catalytic activity.

Abstract
The valorization of CO2 via renewable energy sources allows one to obtain carbon-neutral fuels through its hydrogenation, like methane. In this study, Ni0.05Ce0.95O2−δ catalysts were prepared using a simple one-pot hydrothermal method yielding nanorod and nanocube particles to be used for the methanation reaction. Samples were characterized by XRD, BET, TEM, H2-TPR, and H2-TPD experiments. The catalytic activity tests revealed that the best performing catalyst was Ni0.05Ce0.95O2−δ, with nanorod morphology, which gave a CO2 conversion of 40% with a selectivity of CH4 as high as 93%, operating at 325 °C and a GHSV of 240,000 cm3 h−1 g−1. However, the lower activation energy was found for Ni0.05Ce0.95O2−δ catalysts with nanocube morphology. Furthermore, an in operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) analysis was performed flowing CO2:H2 or CO:H2 mixture, showing that the main reaction pathway, for the CO2 methanation, is the direct hydrogenation of formate intermediate.

Abstract
Natural kaolin-based Ni catalysts have been developed for low-temperature CO2 methanation. The catalysts were prepared via a one-step co-impregnation of Ni and Ce onto a natural kaolin-derived metakaolin using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method as an acid-/base-free synthesis method. The influences of microwave irradiation and Ce promotion on the catalytic enhancement including the CO2 conversion, CH4 selectivity, and CH4 yield were experimentally investigated by a catalytic test of as-prepared catalysts in a fixed-bed tubular reactor. The relationship between the catalyst properties and its methanation activities was revealed by various characterization techniques including X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, scanning electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, elemental mapping, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, and X-ray absorption near-edge structure analyses. Among the two enhancement methods, microwave and Ce promotion, the microwave-assisted synthesis could produce a catalyst containing highly dispersed Ni particles with a smaller Ni crystallite size and higher catalyst reducibility, resulting in a higher CO2 conversion from 1.6 to 7.5% and a better CH4 selectivity from 76.3 to 79.9% at 300 °C. Meanwhile, the enhancement by Ce addition exhibited a great improvement on the catalyst activities. It was experimentally found that the CO2 conversion increased approximately 7-fold from 7.5 to 52.9%, while the CH4 selectivity significantly improved from 79.9 to 98.0% at 300 °C. Though the microwave-assisted synthesis could further improve the catalyst activities of Ce-promoted catalysts, the Ce addition exhibited a more prominent impact than the microwave enhancement. Cerium oxide (CeO2) improved the catalyst activities through mechanisms of higher CO2 adsorption capacity with its basic sites and the unique structure of CeO2 with a reversible valence change of Ce4+ and Ce3+ and high oxygen vacancies. However, it was found that the catalyst prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis and Ce promotion proved to be the optimum catalyst in this study. Therefore, the present work demonstrated the potential to synthesize a nickel-based catalyst with improved catalytic activities by adding a small amount of Ce as a catalytic promoter and employing microwave irradiation for improving the Ni dispersion.

Abstract
In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are reaching alarming levels in the atmosphere, capture, recovery, and transformation of carbon dioxide emitted to methane is considered a potentially profitable process. This transformation, known as methanation, is a catalytic reaction that mainly uses catalysts based on noble metals such as Ru and, although with less efficiency, on transition metals such as Ni. In order to improve the efficiency of these conventional catalysts, the effect of adding alkaline earth metals (Ba, Ca, or Mg at 10 wt%) and lanthanides (La or Ce at 14 wt%) to nickel (13 wt%), ruthenium (1 wt%), or both-based catalysts has been studied at temperatures between 498 and 773 K and 10 bar pressure. The deactivation resistance in presence of H2S was also monitored. The incorporation of La into the catalyst produces interactions between active metal Ni, Ru, or Ru-Ni and the alumina support, as determined by the characterization. This fact results in an improvement in the catalytic activity of the 13Ni/Al2O3 catalyst, which achieves a methane yield of 82% at 680 K for 13Ni/14La-Al2O3, in addition to an increase in H2S deactivation resistance. Furthermore, 89% was achieved for 1Ru-13Ni/14La-Al2O3 at 651 K, but it showed to be more vulnerable to H2S presence.
