Mesoporous TiO2 film on AI wire was fabricated by sol-gel method with evaporation induced self assembly (EISA) process using F127 as templating agent in the mixed solution of ethanol and Tetra-n-butyl Titanate. The Ni/TiO2 film catalyst supported on Al wire was prepared by impregnation and the catalytic performance on methanation was carried out in a titanium alloy micro-reactor tube. It was shown that anatase mesoporous TiO2 film was prepared in this conditions (1 g F127,calcined at 400 degrees C and aged for 24 h), which has specific surface area of 127 m(2) g(-1) and narrow pore size distribution of 5.3 nm. Low calcined temperature (300 degrees C) cannot transfer film to anatase and decompose F127 completely. Ni/TiO2 film on Al wire catalyst was proved to be active in CO methanation reaction. And the CO conversion reaches 99% and CH4 selectivity close is to 80% when the reaction temperature is higher 360 degrees C. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
