Abstract
Nickel (Ni) is regarded as the most effective non-noble metal catalyst for CO2 methanation. Its performance is strongly influenced by support material and Ni reducibility. This study investigates the impact of zeolite types (ANA, LTA, and ZSM-5) on the reducibility and catalytic performance of 5 wt% Ni catalysts, compared with SiO2. Reducibility, measured via in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) from 100 to 450 °C, followed the order: 5Ni/ZSM-5 > 5Ni/ANA > 5Ni/LTA > 5Ni/SiO2. Catalytic testing in a fixed-bed flow reactor revealed the highest CO2 conversion at 400 °C, following the order: 5Ni/LTA > 5Ni/ZSM-5 > 5Ni/ANA > 5Ni/SiO2. Zeolite-supported catalysts achieved significantly higher CH4 selectivity compared to 5Ni/SiO2, with the trend: 5Ni/LTA > 5Ni/ZSM-5 > 5Ni/ANA ≫ 5Ni/SiO2. Comprehensive characterization using X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was conducted to analyze catalyst properties. The CO2 methanation mechanism was deduced using data from in situ XAS-MS. These findings demonstrate that zeolite-supported Ni catalysts, particularly 5Ni/LTA, exhibit superior reducibility and catalytic performance, advancing the development of efficient materials for CO2 conversion.
镍(Ni)被认为是CO2甲烷化最有效的非贵金属催化剂。其性能受载体材料和Ni还原性的影响较大。本研究考察了沸石类型(ANA、LTA和ZSM-5)对5 wt% Ni催化剂的还原性和催化性能的影响,并与SiO2进行了比较。通过原位x射线吸收光谱(XAS)在100至450°C范围内测量还原性,顺序为:5Ni/ZSM-5 >;5 ni /安娜比;5 ni / LTA祝辞5 ni /二氧化矽。固定床流动反应器的催化测试表明,在400°C时CO2转化率最高,顺序为:5Ni/LTA >;5 ni / ZSM-5祝辞5 ni /安娜比;5 ni /二氧化矽。与5Ni/SiO2相比,沸石负载型催化剂的CH4选择性显著提高,趋势为:5Ni/LTA >;5 ni / ZSM-5祝辞5Ni/ANA∶5Ni/SiO2。采用x射线衍射、N2吸附-解吸、x射线光电子能谱等方法对催化剂进行了综合表征。利用原位XAS-MS数据推导了CO2甲烷化机理。这些发现表明,沸石负载的Ni催化剂,特别是5Ni/LTA,具有优异的还原性和催化性能,促进了高效CO2转化材料的发展。
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
