Elucidating the role of earth alkaline doping in perovskite-based methane dry reforming catalysts

To elucidate the role of earth alkaline doping in perovskite-based dry reforming of methane (DRM) catalysts, we embarked on a comparative and exemplary study of a Ni-based Sm perovskite with and without Sr doping. While the Sr-doped material appears as a structure-pure Sm 1.5 Sr 0.5 NiO 4 Ruddlesden Popper structure, the undoped material is a NiO/monoclinic Sm 2 O 3 composite. Hydrogen pre-reduction or direct activation in the DRM mixture in all cases yields either active Ni/Sm 2 O 3 or Ni/Sm 2 O 3 /SrCO 3 materials, with albeit different short-term stability and deactivation behavior. The much smaller Ni particle size after hydrogen reduction of Sm 1.5 Sr 0.5 NiO 4 , and of generally all undoped materials stabilizes the short and long-term DRM activity. Carbon dioxide reactivity manifests itself in the direct formation of SrCO 3 in the case of Sm 1.5 Sr 0.5 NiO 4 , which is dominant at high temperatures. For Sm 1.5 Sr 0.5 NiO 4 , the CO : H 2 ratio exceeds 1 at these temperatures, which is attributed to faster direct carbon dioxide conversion to SrCO 3 without catalytic DRM reactivity. As no Sm 2 O 2 CO 3 surface or bulk phase as a result of carbon dioxide activation was observed for any material – in contrast to La 2 O 2 CO 3 – we suggest that oxy-carbonate formation plays only a minor role for DRM reactivity. Rather, we identify surface graphitic carbon as the potentially reactive intermediate. Graphitic carbon has already been shown as a crucial reaction intermediate in metal-oxide DRM catalysts and appears both for Sm 1.5 Sr 0.5 NiO 4 and NiO/monoclinic Sm 2 O 3 after reaction as crystalline structure. It is significantly more pronounced for the latter due to the higher amount of oxygen-deficient monoclinic Sm 2 O 3 facilitating carbon dioxide activation. Despite the often reported beneficial role of earth alkaline dopants in DRM catalysis, we show that the situation is more complex. In our studies, the detrimental role of earth alkaline doping manifests itself in the exclusive formation of the sole stable carbonated species and a general destabilization of the Ni/monoclinic Sm 2 O 3 interface by favoring Ni particle sintering.
