Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of rhodium oxide (RhO) doping on nickel catalysts supported by yttria-stabilized zirconia for dry reforming of methane at 800 °C.
- RhO addition enhances catalyst activation, achieves optimal conversions of ~89% for CH and ~92% for CO at 4.0 wt.% loading, and reduces catalyst surface basicity, improving performance.
- Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that RhO reduces carbon formation, increasing catalyst stability by promoting carbon oxidation, with a notable 12.5% weight loss of carbon observed at the optimal RhO loading.
The dry reforming of methane (DRM) was studied for seven hours at 800 °C and 42 L/(g·h) gas hourly space velocity over Ni-based catalysts, promoted with various amounts of gadolinium oxide (x = 0.0, 1.0, 2.

In this framework, the activity of the nickel-based catalysts, supported by yttria-stabilized zirconia and promoted with holmium oxide (HoO), was assessed in carbon dioxide reforming of methane at 800 °C. The catalysts were characterized by N-physisorption, H temperature-programmed reduction, temperature-programmed desorption of CO, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques.
