Abstract
Graphitic deposits anti-segregate into Ni0 nanoparticles to provide restored CH4 adsorption sites and near-surface/dissolved C atoms, which migrate to the Ni0 /ZrO2 interface and induce local Zrx Cy formation. The resulting oxygen-deficient carbidic phase boundary sites assist in the kinetically enhanced CO2 activation toward CO(g). This interface carbide mechanism allows for enhanced spillover of carbon to the ZrO2 support, and represents an alternative catalyst regeneration pathway with respect to the reverse oxygen spillover on Ni-CeZrx Oy catalysts. It is therefore rather likely on supports with limited oxygen storage/exchange kinetics but significant carbothermal reducibility.
