Abstract

A highly active and stable Ni-based catalyst is the focal point for research on dry reforming of methane (DRM). Here, NixGay/La2O3-LDO catalysts composed of highly dispersed NixGay and La2O3 nanoparticles supported by the MgO/Al2O3 layered double oxide (LDO) nanosheets were synthesized by chemical methods. According to transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), CO2-TPD, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and thermal gravitational analysis (TGA), a synergistic reaction mechanism was proposed to explain the superior performance of the Ni0.8Ga0.2/La2O3-LDO catalyst. The NixGay alloy catalyst provides an effective way to balance the speed of CH4 cracking and CO2 disassociation, and the La2O3 promoter enriched the CO2 and ensured the generation of active O in time. They worked together to inhibit carbon accumulation and significantly improve the catalyst's activity and stability.
