Abstract
Co-precipitated NiAl and NiMgAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were prepared at M2+/Al3+ molar ratio of 2.5/1 and subsequently promoted with gold targeting to be studied as catalysts and supports of gold particles in the hydrogen production via water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. Powder X-ray diffraction and N2 physisorption before and after WGS tests were applied to investigate the impacts of Mg and Au on the structure and catalytic behavior of the systems. Partial replacement of Ni by Mg resulted in moderate activity of NiMgAl and Au/NiMgAl catalysts than NiAl analogues due to: (i) smaller Ni amount that could not supply sufficient number catalytically active sites; (ii) higher thermal stability leading to the creation of the active Ni species at higher temperatures, and (iii) partial regeneration of the layered structure with the assistance of small Au particles, Mg, and the reaction medium as well. Favorable role of gold on Au/NiAl WGS activity was elucidated.
