Robust nanosheet-assembled Al2O3-supported Ni catalysts for the dry reforming of methane: the effect of nickel content on the catalytic performance and carbon formation

Abstract

Nanosheet-assembled Al2O3 for loading Ni were successfully prepared. Enhancing Ni loading decreases the Ni dispersion and the interaction between Ni and support. 5%-Ni/(NA-Al2O3) catalyst possesses an excellent activity and coke resistance for dry reforming of methane.
