Sol–gel synthesized Ni/Al2O3–CeO2 and Ni/Al2O3–MgO as efficient catalysts for DRM.
Combined effects of so-–gel method and CeO2/MgO promoters in nanocatalyst synthesis.
Strong interaction and uniform dispersion of Ni by promoting sol–gel made catalysts.
Formation of surface particles with average size of 20–25 nm by sol–gel method.
Achieving H2 yield of 94% and H2/CO ratio of unity over sol–gel made Ni/Al2O3–CeO2.
