AI Article Synopsis

  • Developed a stable and effective nano structured Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst through a simple co-precipitation method, showing cubic nanostructures sized 50-80 nm.
  • Achieved impressive methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion rates of 98% at 900°C while maintaining excellent stability during dry reforming.
  • Various analytical techniques (like XRD, TEM, and FT-IR) confirmed the catalyst's high resistance to coke formation, making it a strong candidate for high-temperature reactions with balanced performance.

Article Abstract

A highly active and stable nano structured Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalysts was developed by a simple co-precipitation method. The obtained Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst exhibited cubic structure nanocatalyst with a size of 50-80 nm and realized CH4 and CO2 conversions as high as 98% at 900°C with excellent stability in the dry reforming of methane. The characterization of catalyst was performed using various kinds of analytical techniques including XRD, BET, XRF, TPR-H2, TGA, TEM, FESEM, FT-IR, and XPS analyses. Characterization of spent catalyst further confirms that Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst has high coke-resistance for dry reforming. Thus, the catalyst demonstrated in this study, offers a promising catalyst for resolving the dilemma between dispersion and reducibility of supported metal, as well as activity and stability during high temperature reactions.
