Abstract
AbstractEfficient activation and the conversion of methane to value‐added products have long attracted interest. Chemical looping reforming has become a competitive technology to transform methane into syngas that can act as raw material for various chemicals. In this paper, the methane chemical looping reforming reactivity of the Ce−Co composite oxygen carriers fabricated with different preparation methods, including solution combustion, ball‐milling, hydrothermal, and co‐precipitation method, are investigated on a fixed‐bed. Various bulk/surface characterizations (TEM, XRD, BET, XPS, Raman, etc.) were applied to reveal the effect of preparation methods on the properties of these oxygen carriers. The results indicate that the oxygen carrier prepared by the solution combustion method exhibits excellent methane conversion, high syngas yield, and desirable H2/CO ratio, as well as stable regenerability because of its relatively small crystal size, large specific surface area, high oxygen vacancy concentration and Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio. This work may be helpful in the preparation of highly active and stable oxygen carriers for chemical looping reforming reaction of methane.
