A novel Ni–MoCxOy interfacial catalyst for syngas production via the chemical looping dry reforming of methane
Chem(2023)
摘要
Modulating the oxygen-metal interface that enables efficient and selective C–H activation remains challenging. Herein, we present a novel MoCxOy oxygen carrier for syngas production via the chemical looping CH4–CO2 reforming (CL-DRM) reaction. Molybdenum carbide additive induces the re-dispersion of Ni particles from Al2O3 surface to α-MoC driven by the strong interaction between Ni and α-MoC. A dynamic structure transformation between MoCx and MoCxOy occurs and new Ni–MoCxOy interfaces form during the redox cycling, which is discovered to be crucial for the low-temperature CH4 activation using surface construction experiments and in-situ spectroscopic methods. As a result, Ni–(α-MoC)/Al2O3 exhibits near 100% selectivity to syngas with a H2/CO ratio of 2:1 at 500°C, which is a significantly lower temperature than that of conventional systems. This study first employs molybdenum carbide as an oxygen storage material (OSM) in CL-DRM reaction, paving the way of utilizing transition metal carbides as OSMs in chemical looping processes.
