Abstract

Abstract: Nickel-based catalysts represent the most commonly used systems for CO methanation. We have successfully prepared a Ni catalyst system supported on two-dimensional plasma-treated vermiculite (2D-PVMT) with a very low Ni loading (0.5 wt%). The catalyst precursor was subjected to heat treatment via either conventional heat treatment (CHT) or the plasma irradiation method (PIM). The as-obtained CHT-Ni/PVMT and PIM-Ni/PVMT catalysts were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). Additionally, CHT-NiO/PVMT and PIM-NiO/PVMT catalysts were characterized with hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR). Compared with CHT-Ni/PVMT, PIM-Ni/PVMT exhibited superior catalytic performance. The plasma treated catalyst PIM-Ni/PVMT achieved a CO conversion of 93.5% and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.8537 s^-1, at a temperature of 450℃, a gas hourly space velocity of 6000 ml·g^-1·h^-1, a synthesis gas flow rate of 65 ml·min^-1, and a pressure of 1.5 MPa. Plasma irradiation may provide a successful strategy for the preparation of catalysts with very low metal loadings which exhibit excellent properties.
