Synthesis, Characterization, and CO Methanation Over Hierarchical ZSM-5-NiCoAl Layered Double Hydroxide Nanocomposites: Improvement of C-C Coupling to Ethane.

To date, preparing materials with highly dispersed metal nanoparticles without metal agglomeration on a solid support is challenging. This work presents an alternative approach for synthesizing NiCo species on hierarchical ZSM-5 materials derived from a ZSM-5@NiCoAl-LDHs composite. The designed material was prepared by the growth of a NiCo-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) precursor on the surface of hierarchical ZSM-5 nanosheets.
