CeO2-NiO-Al2O3/Ni-foam is obtained by chemically etching Ni-foam and modifying with CeO2.
CeO2-NiO-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst is uniformly embedded onto the Ni-foam struts.
Such catalyst is highly active and selective with promising stability for the ODE process.
Foam-structuring endows catalyst with high heat/mass transfer and high permeability.
Fascinating C2H4 productivity is obtainable over the 7CeO2-NiO-Al2O3/Ni-foam catalyst.
