Highly durable Ru catalysts supported on CeO2 nanocomposites for CO2 methanation
Taking advantages of the high heat tolerance, large specific surface area, and rough surface morphology created by agglomeration of fine primary particles, a solvothermally prepared CeO2 aggregate, SiO2-CeO2 nano composite, and TiO2-CeO2 nanocomposite are proposed to be used as sintering-resistant catalyst supports in highly exothermic reactions. Well-dispersed Ru metal catalysts were deposited on support surfaces by the precipitation deposition method. The methanation of CO2 by H-2, which is a highly exothermic reaction, was selected as a probe reaction in order to evaluate the catalytic activity and sintering-resistant capability of Ru catalysts deposited on those prepared supports. As expected, the low temperature (150-200 degrees C) activity and CH4 production of the Ru catalysts on the prepared CeO2 aggregate and TiO2-CeO2 nanocomposites were better than those on commercial CeO2 aggregates. Moreover, long-term stability (400 degrees C, 24 h; 50-300 degrees C, 10 cycles) was also achieved in the catalysts on these prepared supports.
