  • A nickel doped perovskite catalyst for reforming methane rich biogas with minimal carbon deposition

    Green Chemistry

    A novel nickel-doped strontium zirconate perovskite catalyst for biogas reforming has been synthesised using a green, low temperature hydrothermal synthesis. The catalyst has been shown to be very efficient towards the conversion of methane-rich biogas at relatively low temperatures with high selectivity towards synthesis gas formation and extremely good resistance to carbon deposition in carbon-rich reaction mixtures. The catalyst displays very low carbon deposition which does not increase…

    A novel nickel-doped strontium zirconate perovskite catalyst for biogas reforming has been synthesised using a green, low temperature hydrothermal synthesis. The catalyst has been shown to be very efficient towards the conversion of methane-rich biogas at relatively low temperatures with high selectivity towards synthesis gas formation and extremely good resistance to carbon deposition in carbon-rich reaction mixtures. The catalyst displays very low carbon deposition which does not increase over time, and as a result shows excellent stability. The use of a catalyst produced by a low temperature hydrothermal route provides a potentially very attractive and sustainable source of useful chemicals from biogas that otherwise might be vented wastefully and detrimentally into the atmosphere.

  • A NOVEL PEROVSKITE BASED CATALYST WITH HIGH SELECTIVITY AND ACTIVITY FOR PARTIAL OXIDATION OF METHANE FOR FUEL CELL APPLICATIONS

    Dalton Transactions

    Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have the potential to revolutionise the present fuel economy due to their higher fuel conversion efficiency compared with standard heat engines and the possibility of utilizing the heat produced in a combined heat and power system. One of the reasons they have yet to fulfil this potential is that the conventional anode material of choice, a nickel/yttria-stabilised zirconia cermet, requires a high temperature production process and under operating conditions is…

    Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have the potential to revolutionise the present fuel economy due to their higher fuel conversion efficiency compared with standard heat engines and the possibility of utilizing the heat produced in a combined heat and power system. One of the reasons they have yet to fulfil this potential is that the conventional anode material of choice, a nickel/yttria-stabilised zirconia cermet, requires a high temperature production process and under operating conditions is susceptible to carbon and sulphur poisoning. Perovskite-based materials have been proposed as potential anode materials for SOFCs due to their potentially high electronic conductivity and catalytic properties. One of the problems in realizing this potential has been their low catalytic activity towards methane reforming compared to conventional nickel based cermet materials. A nickel doped strontium zirconate material produced by low temperature hydrothermal synthesis is described which has high activity for methane reforming and high selectivity towards partial oxidation of methane as opposed to total oxidation products. Initial studies show a very low level of carbon formation which does not increase over time.

  • Overcoming carbon deactivation in biogas reforming using a hydrothermally synthesised nickel perovskite catalyst

    RSC Advances

    A hydrothermally synthesised nickel-strontium zirconate perovskite is shown to have excellent selectivity towards biogas reforming without suffering from deactivation due to carbon formation. Experiments reveal that this material is capable of very efficiently converting methane and carbon dioxide to synthesis gas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) at relatively low temperatures and, particularly importantly, high methane contents. Under these conditions we find that carbon production is extremely…

    A hydrothermally synthesised nickel-strontium zirconate perovskite is shown to have excellent selectivity towards biogas reforming without suffering from deactivation due to carbon formation. Experiments reveal that this material is capable of very efficiently converting methane and carbon dioxide to synthesis gas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) at relatively low temperatures and, particularly importantly, high methane contents. Under these conditions we find that carbon production is extremely low and more importantly shows no increase over time, even after 10 days of continuous reforming activity. This conversion of a renewable product, using a catalyst prepared by low temperature hydrothermal methods, provides a route to future sustainable hydrogen, and oxygenate and higher hydrocarbon production whilst lowering some greenhouse gas emissions.
