Abstract

The Mo-containing Ni-Mo2C/La2O3 catalyst was prepared and its catalytic performance compared with that of Ni/La2O3 for the dry reforming of methane (DRM). The former shows better catalytic stability, and there is the formation of Ni and La2MoO6 and a small amount of β-Mo2C. By comparing Ni-Mo2C/La2O3 with the Ni/La2MoO6 and NiMoOx/La2O3 catalysts that are similar in Ni and Mo loadings, we clarify the catalytic role of β-Mo2C in DRM reaction.
