Abstract:
Auto-thermal reforming (ATR) is an effective route to extract hydrogen from acetic acid (HAc) from bio-oil. Nickel-based catalysts were found active for conversion of HAc via the ATR process. However, the main concerns, such as carbon deposition and sintering, led to deactivation of catalysts. Herein, to address these issues, a series of (La,Pr)2NiO4 layered perovskites and the derived catalysts of Ni/La2-2xPrxO3 were prepared, and evaluated by ATR. It was found that with Pr entering the La2O3 lattice, the reduction temperature of Ni oxide was decreased with improved dispersion of Ni0; meanwhile, lattice defects were found within La2-2xPr2xO3, and oxygen vacancies were formed with more reactive oxygen species, promoting gasification of coking precursors. The lower formation energy of oxygen vacancy over Pr-doped La2O3 support was further proved by DFT, confirming the improved oxygen vacancies. Therefore, the Ni0·8La1.35Pr0.73O3.92±δ catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performance along with a stable HAc conversion near 100% and a hydrogen yield around 2.49 mol-H2/mol-HAc, while no coking was detected. © 2024 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
