Abstract
This research developed hierarchical 10 wt % Ni-1 wt % ZrO2/Al2O3 catalysts for combined steam and CO2 reforming of methane (CSCRM) reaction to produce syngas for gas-to-liquid (GTL) application under the ultralow temperature and low steam condition. The hierarchical nanosheet catalysts were prepared via a novel impregnation technique assisted by ammonia vapor diffusion with various times (1, 6, and 12 h) to develop the different magnitude of hierarchical nanosheets on the surface. Then, CSCRM at 600 °C was performed on the catalysts for 6 h. The results evidenced the improvement of H2 selectivity, reaching an appropriate H2/CO ratio (1.9-2.0) in FT subunits in the GTL process when nanosheets existed on the surface due to the increase in H2O adsorption-dissociation sites. The good dispersion of hierarchical nanosheets accompanied by the ZrO2 promoter successfully enhanced the CH4 conversion and the coke prevention through the spread nanosheets because of the increase in the number of active sites and the surface interaction. The interaction of hierarchical nanosheets created the H2O activation-dissociation sites that allowed CO2 to be selective on the oxygen vacancy sites, producing more OH* and OH* on the catalyst surface to resist the carbon deposition during CSCRM operation.

Abstract
Two series of Ni/Ce(Ti/Nb)ZrO2 catalysts were prepared using citrate route and original solvothermal continuous flow synthesis in supercritical isopropanol and studied in dry reforming of methane (DRM). TEM, XPS and FTIRS of adsorbed CO confirm influence of support composition and preparation method on the catalysts' morphology and surface features. The oxygen mobility was studied by isotope heteroexchange with C18O2. After testing in DRM, carbon deposits after catalysts' testing in DRM were investigated by temperature-programmed oxidation with thermo-gravimetric analysis. The lowest amounts of carbon deposits were obtained for unmodified Ni-CeZr and Ni-CeNbZr compositions. Ti addition lead to an increased amount of carbon, which was removed at higher temperatures. The use of supercritical supports also resulted in the formation of a higher amount of coke. Catalysts prepared by the supercritical synthesis were tested in DRM for 25 h. The highest activity drop was observed in the first three hours. For all compositions, close values of carbon deposits were revealed.

Abstract
Ni-based catalysts have been extensively investigated because of their superior catalytic performance. In this study, the Ni-La/Al2O3-CaO-C catalyst was prepared by homogeneous precipitation, employed in the co-pyrolysis of soybean straw with polyethylene to produce hydrogen. The optimal experimental conditions were identified by discussing the carrier synthesis ratio, feedstock ratio, and addition of La. Additionally, the stability of the catalyst was evaluated. It was established that the carrier was produced using a molar ratio, the raw ingredients ratio of 5:5, and that the optimum catalytic action was obtained when La was added. Co-pyrolysis of soybean straw with polyethylene (PE) that was catalyzed by Ni-La/Al2O3-CaO-C generated 55.45 vol% of H2 under ideal experimental circumstances. After six applications, the H2 yield was 33.89 vol%, compared to 27.5 vol% for the Ni/Al2O3-CaO-C catalyst. The experimental results indicate that Ni-La/Al2O3-CaO-C exhibits superior catalytic activity and stability than Ni/Al2O3-CaO-C.

Coking and metal sintering are limitations of large-scale applications of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts in DRM reactions. In this review, several modification strategies to enhance the anti-deactivation property of Ni/Al2O3 are proposed and discussed with the recently developed catalyst systems, including structure and morphology control, surface acidity/basicity, interfacial engineering and oxygen defects. In addition, the structure–performance relationship and deactivation/anti-deactivation mechanisms are illustrated in depth, followed by prospects for future work.

Abstract
The greenhouse effect is leading to global warming and destruction of the ecological environment. The conversion of carbon dioxide and methane greenhouse gases into valuable substances has attracted scientists’ attentions. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) alleviates environmental problems and converts CO2 and CH4 into valuable chemical substances; however, due to the high energy input to break the strong chemical bonds in CO2 and CH4, non-thermal plasma (NTP) catalyzed DRM has been promising in activating CO2 at ambient conditions, thus greatly lowering the energy input; moreover, the synergistic effect of the catalyst and plasma improves the reaction efficiency. In this review, the recent developments of catalytic DRM in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor on Ni-based catalysts are summarized, including the concept, characteristics, generation, and types of NTP used for catalytic DRM and corresponding mechanisms, the synergy and performance of Ni-based catalysts with DBD plasma, the design of DBD reactor and process parameter optimization, and finally current challenges and future prospects are provided.
