Abstract
An oxide-based aerogel having cerium and nickel may be used as a water-gas shift reaction catalyst without producing methane as a byproduct. It may be made by forming a gel from a cerium salt and a nickel salt solution and converting the gel to an aerogel.
Claims11
A composition comprising:
- an oxide-based aerogel comprising cerium and nickel;
- wherein the nickel atoms are atomically dispersed in the aerogel.
A method comprising:
- providing a solution comprising a cerium salt and a nickel salt;
- forming an oxide-based gel comprising cerium, nickel, and oxygen from the solution;
- and
- converting the gel to an aerogel;
- wherein the nickel atoms are atomically dispersed in the aerogel.
