A new Gd-promoted nickel catalyst for methane conversion to syngas and as an anode functional layer in a solid oxide fuel cell

The effect of lanthanide promoters on a Ni-Al2O3 catalyst for methane partial oxidation, steam reforming and CO2 reforming at 600-850 °C is systematically investigated. The promoters include La2O3, CeO2, Pr2O 3, Sm2O3 and Gd2O3. GdNi-Al2O3 shows comparable catalytic activity to LaNi-Al2O3 and PrNi-A...
