Abstract

The environmental impact and the forecasted scarcity of fossil fuels have intensified research on renewable energy sources. Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier that can be produced from renewable sources and plays a key role in achieving global decarbonization targets. Biogas, produced by anaerobic digestion of organic compounds, is rich in methane and carbon dioxide and can be used to produce renewable hydrogen by dry reforming. This review focuses on the recent advances in Ni-based catalysts for biogas reforming. The effect of supports and promoters on catalyst activity, stability, and resistance to carbon deposition will be systematically discussed. This review provides a better understanding of the influence of the synthesis method, metal-support interaction, acid/base sites, and oxygen mobility on catalytic activity. Special emphasis will be given to the development of core-shell structure catalysts and bimetallic catalysts of Ni with other transition metals and noble metals.
