Abstract

Free-standing NiO-MgO composite nanosheet catalysts to be used for catalytic oxy-methane reforming (COMR) have been developed by in-situ growing onto the Ni-foam struts under hydrothermal condition followed by calcination treatment. Among them, the NiO-MgO/Ni-foam consisting of 1.0% MgO, 18.7% NiO and nickel-foam-strut balance is the best structured catalyst engineered from nano- to macro-scale, being capable of converting 82.9% CH4 into syngas at selectivity of 94.7% to H2 and of 89.9% to CO for a feed of CH4/O2=2/1 (vol/vol), at 700 °C and a high gas hourly space velocity of 100 L g-1 h-1. Nevertheless, improvement of their carbon resistance and textural stability is particularly desirable.
