Hydrogen-rich syngas production through partial oxidation of methane over Ni-promoted molecular sieves: Impact of reducibility and surface area by Salma A. Al-Zahrani, Rawesh Kumar, Mohammed F. Alotibi, Sahar Y. Rajeh, Najat Masood, Hessah Difallah A Al-Enazy, Ahmed S. Al-Fatesh

“…Catalysts are characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area-porosity, temperature programmed studies, thermogravimetry analysis, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photo electron spectroscopy. The stability of major active sites (metallic Ni) under oxidizing gas (O2 and CO2) is checked by Cyclic H2TPR-CO2TPD-H2TPR and Cyclic H2TPR-O2TPOH2TPR experiment where metallic Ni was found more susceptible to oxidize under oxygen. …”
