Tailoring Ni-based poly-metallic catalysts for enhanced CO2 methanation through a Simplex-Centroid Mixture Design (SCMD) by Oscar E. Medina, Andrés A. Amell, Diana López, Alexander Santamaría

“…However, the amount of Y₂O₃ was crucial; while optimal Y₂O₃ content (5 wt%) stabilized active sites and enhanced metal dispersion, excessive Y₂O₃ could obstruct catalytic sites (> 15 wt%), negatively affecting performance. Characterization analyses, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), showed 5–10 wt% Y₂O₃ addition increased oxygen vacancy formation, increased catalyst reducibility, reduced Ni particle sintering, and inhibited coke deposition and spinel (NiAl₂O₄) formation. …”
