We developed a PdNi(alloy)/Ni-foam catalyst for coalbed methane deoxygenation via catalytic combustion.
The catalyst was obtained via galvanic deposition method followed by in-situ reaction-induced PdNi alloying.
The catalyst was active/selective, stable and highly resistant to oscillation.
The Ni-foam-structured design endowed catalyst with high permeability and enhanced heat transfer.
In-situ formation of PdNi alloy was essential to the activity promotion and oscillation suppression.
