Abstract
Supported nickel catalysts of composition Ni/Y2O3–ZrO2 were synthesized in one step by the polymerization method and compared with a nickel catalyst prepared by wet impregnation. Stronger interactions were observed in the formed catalysts between NiO species and the oxygen vacancies of the Y2O3–ZrO2 in the catalysts made by polymerization, and these were attributed to less agglomeration of the NiO during the synthesis of the catalysts in one step. The dry reforming of ethanol was catalyzed with a maximum CO2 conversion of 61% on the 5NiYZ catalyst at 800°C, representing a better response than for the catalyst of the same composition prepared by wet impregnation.
