Abstract: In this paper, the effects of adding Sm2O3 on the alumina-supported nickel methana-tion catalysts were investigated by XRD, TEM, XPS and TPSRtechniquesIt was found that the addition of Sm2O3 leads to significant increases both in activities and stabilities, which are more obvious for the catalyst sample prepared by stepwise impregnationThe effects are primarily attributed to the fined and well-distributed crystallite obtained by means of Sm2O3 adding XPS results indicate that Ni2P3/2 binding energies for NiO-Sm2O3/Al2O3 are 1 eVlower than that for NiO/Al2O3. The interaction of Sm2O3 and Ni can improve the activation absorption of carbon oxide.
