Abstract
A CO2 reforming catalyst may include a catalyst metal and a porous carrier. The catalyst metal may be at least one metal selected from Ni, Co, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ag, Cu, Zn, and Pd. The catalyst metal may be bonded to the porous carrier to form an alloy.
Claims13
A CO2 reforming catalyst, comprising:
- a catalyst metal, the catalyst metal being at least one of Ni, Co, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ag, Cu, Zn and Pd;
- and
- a porous carrier supporting the catalyst metal such that a bonding surface of the catalyst metal conforms to a supporting surface of the porous carrier, the bonding surface of the catalyst metal being united with the supporting surface of the porous carrier with an alloy bond, the catalyst metal having a cross-section of a circular, elliptical, or oval shape, the cross-section defined by a plane extending through a center of the catalyst metal and extending perpendicularly to the supporting surface of the porous carrier, the catalyst metal having a height designated as h, the height being a vertical distance from an uppermost surface of the catalyst metal to the supporting surface of the porous carrier, the circular, elliptical, or oval shape of the cross-section having at least one of a radius designated as r, a major radius designated as ra, and a minor radius designated as rb, the major radius ra being greater than the minor radius rb, the height of the catalyst metal satisfying the relationship h<2r or h<2ra.
A method of manufacturing a CO2 reforming catalyst, the method comprising:
- exposing a porous carrier to a solution containing a precursor of a catalyst metal to form a precursor-loaded carrier, the catalyst metal being at least one of Ni, Co, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ag, Cu, Zn, and Pd;
- baking the precursor-loaded carrier to form a metal-loaded carrier;
- oxidizing and reducing the metal-loaded carrier to activate the catalyst metal to form an activated carrier;
- impregnating the activated carrier with water to form an impregnated carrier;
- and
- evaporating the water from the impregnated carrier under a hydrogen atmosphere to reduce the catalyst metal to form an alloy bond between the catalyst metal and the porous carrier.
