Abstract:

The sintering and carbon deposition of active sites are the main obstacles for the industrial application of methane reforming over Ni-based catalysts. As for the various improvement approaches, the use of steric geometry limiting structure can effectively limit the sintering and carbon deposition of Ni particles. However, there is still a lack of systematic understanding of their relationships based on the confinement dimension. In this paper, three Ni-SiO2 catalysts(i.e., traditional supported Ni/SiO2, mesoporous Ni/SBA-15 and core-shell Ni@SiO2) with the same chemical composition but different metal exposure structures were prepared to investigate the influence of different steric limiting dimensions/structures on the metals’ anti-carbon deposition mechanism in CH4-CO2 reforming. The results showed that Ni/SiO2 has little steric limiting effect, thus showing the weakest carbon resistance ability and the worst stability. The Ni/SBA-15 has partial steric limiting effect and its anti-carbon deposition ability is significantly improved, while Ni@SiO2, which has a complete geometric limiting effect, shows the strongest carbon resistance ability with the optimal stability.
