Carbon as an Intermediate during the Carbon Dioxide Reforming of Methane over Zirconia-Supported High Nickel Loading Catalysts

Abstract

Abstract Ni/ZrO2 catalysts with more than 10wt % Ni loading give a birth of a large amount of carbon deposition, but the carbon plays as an intermediate to react with CO2, which is contributed to both high activity and good stability towards carbon dioxide reforming of methane.
