The present work is focused on nickel catalysts supported on LaO-CeO binary oxides without and with the addition of Cu to the active component for the dry reforming of methane (DRM). The catalysts are characterized using XRD, XRF, TPD-CO, TPR-H, and low-temperature N adsorption-desorption methods. This work shows the effect of different La:Ce ratios (1:1 and 9:1) and the Cu addition on the structural, acid base, and catalytic properties of Ni-containing systems.

Here, the structural and compositional peculiarities in CTAB-templated CeO-ZrO-MnO catalysts prepared by co-precipitation of precursors and their catalytic behavior in CO oxidation and soot combustion are discussed. A complex of physical-chemical methods (low-temperature N sorption, XRD, TPR-H, Raman, HR TEM, XPS) is used to elucidate the features of the formation of interphase boundaries, joint phases, and defects in multicomponent oxide systems.

The obtained samples are characterized by wide-angle XRD, SAXS, N sorption, TPR-H, TEM, UV-vis and Raman spectroscopies.
