Abstract
This paper reports the effect of noble metal addition (Ru, Pd) to supported Ni catalysts towards the reaction of CO2 reforming of methane. On the basis of FT-IR spectra of adsorbed CO, H2 chemisorption and TPR measurements it has been proposed that the different behaviour of the Ni-based bimetallic catalysts can be related to different metal–metal interactions occurring on the catalysts. In particular, the strong improvement in the activity and stability observed in the case of ex-nitrate Ni–Ru catalysts has been attributed to an enrichment of the catalyst surface in nickel due to the formation of Ni–Ru clusters with the surface mainly covered by Ni. This leads to an increase in the metallic dispersion of Ni and favours the formation of more reactive intermediate carbonaceous species.
