Abstract

The catalytic activity of carbon-doped nickel foams in the dry methane reforming was studied at mild experimental conditions. The catalysts were synthesized by the controlled pyrolysis of different Nicontaining re-crystallized saccharose under N2 flow. The results showed that carbon proportion clearly influences the catalytic activity of Ni-foams from low to moderate catalytic activity attributed to an in situ formation during pre-treatment of very active reduced Ni phases. It can be conclude that carbon-doped nickel foams catalysts prepared from the controlled pyrolysis of saccharose are interesting materials for natural gas conversion reactions.
