Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a promising way to convert methane and carbon dioxide into H and CO (syngas). CeO nanorods, nanocubes, and nanospheres were decorated with 1-4 wt % Ni. The materials were structurally characterized using TEM and XANES/EXAFS. The CO activation was analyzed by DFT and temperature-programmed techniques combined with MS-DRIFTS. Synthesized CeO morphologies expose {111} and {100} terminating facets, varying the strength of the CO interaction and redox properties, which influence the CO activation. Temperature-programmed CO DRIFTS analysis revealed that under hydrogen-lean conditions mono- and bidentate carbonates are hydrogenated to formate intermediates, which decompose to HO and CO. In excess hydrogen, methane is the preferred reaction product. The CeO cubes favor the formation of a polydentate carbonate species, which is an inert spectator during DRM at 500 °C. Polydentate covers a considerable fraction of ceria's surface, resulting in less-abundant surface sites for CO dissociation.
甲烷干重整(DRM)是一种将甲烷和二氧化碳转化为H和CO(合成气)的很有前景的方法。用1-4 wt%的Ni修饰CeO纳米棒、纳米立方体和纳米球。使用透射电子显微镜(TEM)和X射线吸收近边结构(XANES)/扩展X射线吸收精细结构(EXAFS)对材料进行结构表征。通过密度泛函理论(DFT)和程序升温技术结合质谱-漫反射红外傅里叶变换光谱(MS-DRIFTS)分析CO的活化情况。合成的CeO形态暴露出{111}和{100}终止面,改变了CO相互作用的强度和氧化还原性质,从而影响CO的活化。程序升温CO DRIFTS分析表明,在贫氢条件下,单齿和双齿碳酸盐被氢化成甲酸中间体,然后分解为HO和CO。在氢气过量的情况下,甲烷是首选的反应产物。CeO立方体有利于多齿碳酸盐物种的形成,该物种在500℃的DRM过程中是惰性旁观者。多齿物种覆盖了相当一部分二氧化铈表面,导致CO解离的表面位点较少。
