Abstract

The catalytic activity in dry methane reforming of hydrotalcite-derived catalysts with ceria and/or nickel species introduced into hydrotalcite interlayer spaces was examined. The prepared materials were characterized (XRF, XRD, FT-IR, H2-TPR and N2 sorption) and subsequently tested in CO2 methane reforming at 550 °C. The obtained results showed that the incorporation of nickel species between hydrotalcite layers resulted in active catalyst with no sign of carbon deposition. Additionally, a beneficial effect of ceria promotion was observed. Ceria-promoted sample exhibited higher activity, stability and selectivity towards DRM, which may be explained by the formation of small Ni crystallites and prevention of the formation of inactive NiAl2O4 spinel phase.
