Overcoming carbon deactivation in biogas reforming using a hydrothermally synthesised nickel perovskite catalyst (2014)
Journal Article
Evans, S. E., Good, O. J., Staniforth, J. Z., Ormerod, R. M., & Darton, R. J. (in press). Overcoming carbon deactivation in biogas reforming using a hydrothermally synthesised nickel perovskite catalyst. RSC advances, 4(58), 30816-30819. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4ra00846d

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 e... Read More about Overcoming carbon deactivation in biogas reforming using a hydrothermally synthesised nickel perovskite catalyst.

Application of inelastic neutron scattering to investigate the "dry" reforming of methane over an alumina-supported nickel catalyst operating under conditions where filamentous carbon formation is prevalent (2014)
Journal Article
Ormerod. (2014). Application of inelastic neutron scattering to investigate the "dry" reforming of methane over an alumina-supported nickel catalyst operating under conditions where filamentous carbon formation is prevalent. Abstracts of papers of the American Chemical Society, https://doi.org/10.1039/C3RA42435A

The use of CO2 in reforming methane to produce the industrial feedstock syngas is an economically and environmentally attractive reaction. An alumina-supported nickel catalyst active for this reaction additionally forms filamentous carbon. The cataly...
