Ni, Co, Mg, and Al mixed-oxide solids, synthesized via the hydrotalcite route, were investigated in previous works toward the dry reforming of methane for hydrogen production. The oxide Co2Ni2Mg2Al2 calcined at 800 °C, Co2Ni2Mg2Al2800, showed the highest catalytic activity in the studied series, which was ascribable to an interaction between Ni and Co, which is optimal for this Co/Ni ratio. In the present study, Co2Ni2Mg2Al2800 was compared to a commercial catalyst widely used in the industry, Ni(50%)/Al2O3, and showed better activity despite its lower number of active sites, as well as lower amounts of carbon on its surface, i.e. less deactivation. In addition to this, Co2Ni2Mg2Al2800 showed stability for 20 h under stream during the dry reforming of methane. This good durability is attributed to a periodic cycle of carbon deposition and removal as well as to the strong interaction between Ni and Co, preventing the deactivation of the catalyst. The evaluation of the catalytic performances in the presence of toluene, which is an impurity that exists in biogas, is also a part of this work. In the presence of toluene, the catalytic activity of Co2Ni2Mg2Al2800 decreases, and higher carbon formation on the catalyst surface is detected. Toluene adsorption on catalytic sites, side reactions performed by toluene, and the competition between toluene and methane in the reaction with carbon dioxide are the main reasons for such results.

Series of plasmonic MoO[Formula: see text] particles have been prepared by a facile solvothermal method to produce hydrogen via hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. Interestingly, the as-prepared MoO[Formula: see text] particles present various morphologies, i.e. flower, schistose and nanorod by simply tuning the reaction temperature and solvent volume ratio of distilled water and acetic acid. More importantly, these MoO[Formula: see text] particles with different morphologies exhibit various catalytic performances of NH3BH3 under the irradiation of visible light. Particularly, the flower-like MoO[Formula: see text] microstructure possesses the best catalytic activity for hydrogen production probably owing to the relatively large surface area and strong LSPR in the visible region.

A series of catalysts made of ruthenium loaded on γ-Al2O3 nanorods were prepared to study the effects of preparation procedure on their catalytic performances for hydrogenation CO2 to formic acid. The catalysts are characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption measurement and H2-TPR in detail. The results reveal that the catalytic activity is determined by the structure of supported ruthenium oxide species. The dispersion of RuOx is influenced by the preparation procedures. Optimal activity of catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid is achieved over a γ-Al2O3 nanorods supported 2.0 wt% ruthenium catalyst, which is prepared by calcinations at 573 K in flowing air for 6h.
