Reforming of methane with carbon dioxide over supported bimetallic catalysts containing Ni and noble metal

The activity and stability of silica supported monometallic Ni, Rh and bimetallic Ni–Rh catalysts have been studied towards the carbon dioxide reforming of methane. The catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation with different contents of Rh and Ni and they were characterized by H2 chemisorption, TPRH2, XRD and FT-IR methods. SiO2 supported monometallic Ni, Rh and bimetallic Ni–Rh catalysts are comparably good catalysts for carbon...
