Ni-based catalysts are prone to agglomeration and carbon deposition at high temperatures. Therefore, the development of Ni-based catalysts with high activities at low temperatures is a very urgent and challenging research topic. Herein, Ni-based nanocatalysts containing Co promoter with mosaic structure were prepared by reduction of NiCoAl-LDHs, and used for CO2 methanation. When the reaction temperature is 250 °C (0.1 MPa, GHSV = 30,000 mL·g−1·h−1), the conversion of CO2 on the NiCo0.5Al-R catalyst reaches 81%. However, under the same test conditions, the conversion of CO2 on the NiAl-R catalyst is only 26%. The low-temperature activity is significantly improved due to Co which can effectively control the size of the Ni particles, so that the catalyst contains more active sites. The CO2-TPD results show that the Co can also regulate the number of moderately basic sites in the catalyst, which is beneficial to increase the amount of CO2 adsorbed. More importantly, the NiCo0.5Al-R catalyst still maintains high catalytic performance after 92 h of continuous reaction. This is due to the confinement effect of the AlOx substrate inhibiting the agglomeration of Ni nanoparticles. The Ni-based catalysts with high performance at low temperature and high stability prepared by the method used have broad industrial application prospects.

The activity of reducible metal oxide Sm2O3, CeO2, and ZnO as Ni nanoparticles support was investigated for CO2 methanation reaction. CO2 methanation was carried out between 200 °C to 450 °C with the optimum catalytic activity was observed at 450 °C. The reducibility of the catalysts has been comparatively studied using H2-Temperature Reduction Temperature (TPR) method. The H2-TPR analysis also elucidated the formation of surface oxygen vacancies at temperature above 600 °C for 5Ni/Sm2O3 and 5Ni/CeO2. The Sm2O3 showed superior activity than CeO2 presumably due to the transition of the crystalline phases under reducing environment. However, the formation of NiZn alloy in 5Ni/ZnO reduced the ability of Ni to catalyze methanation reaction. A highly dispersed Ni on Sm2O3 created a large metal/support interfacial interaction to give 69% of CO2 conversion with 100% selectivity at 450 °C. The 5Ni/Sm2O3 exhibited superior catalytic performances with an apparent phase transition from cubic to a mixture of cubic and monoclinic phases over a long reaction, presumably responsible for the enhanced conversion after 10 h of reaction.
