A Sustainable Catalyst for the Partial Oxidation of Methane to Syngas: Ni/Ca_1‐<i>x</i>Sr_<i>x</i>TiO₃, Prepared In Situ from Perovskite Precursors

Abstract

High activity and negligible coke formation in the course of the catalytic partial oxidation of CH 4 to syngas are characteristics of the Ni/Ca 4‐ x Sr x TiO 3 catalyst, which is readily accessible by the citrate method from nickel nitrate, alkaline earth metal carbonates, and tetraisopropoxidotitanium. The properties and efficiency of the catalyst are normally only associated with catalysts that contain considerably more expensive metals such as Rh, Ir, and Ru.
