Dry reforming of methane over LnFe(0.7)Ni(0.3)O(3-delta) perovskites: Influence of Ln nature
LnFe(0.7)Ni(0.3)O(3-delta) (Ln = La, Pr, Sm) perovskites synthesized via Pechini method have been studied as catalysts of methane dry reforming (MDR). Effects of pretreatment and type of Ln cation on the structural and redox properties of perovskites and their catalytic performance have been elucidated. The most active catalysts are obtained by keeping perovskites in the reaction feed at high temperatures due to the formation of Ni-Fe alloy particles released from the perovskite lattice and stabilized on its surface. PrFe0.7Ni0.3O3-delta was found to be the most active and stable catalyst due to the optimal composition of segregated Ni-Fe alloy particles and redox properties of oxide matrix.
