Carbon dioxide reforming of methane has attracted much attention as an energy production process to generate energy sources such as hydrogen and more importantly, carbon monoxide, so called syn-gas. Because carbon deposition and sintering of particles on a catalyst limit its practical application for CO2reforming of CH4. Steam pre-treatment was performed on MgO promoted NiCo/Al2O3(NiCoMg/Al2O3) to design MgAl2O4islands over the catalyst surface, improving catalytic performance. During steam pre-treatment, unstable aluminum leached out, migrating to the MgO so as to form MgAl2O4on the catalyst. Density functional theory calculations and data analysis show that the induced binding energy between MgAl2O4and CO2leads to the facile decomposition of CO2thus producing oxidized layers of NiCo. These layers significantly oxidize any deposited carbon and inhibit carbon diffusion into NiCo matrix for the whisker type of carbon growth, reducing carbon deposition on the catalyst. Under severe conditions (GHSV=80,000 h−1at 850 °C), the stream treated NiCoMg/Al2O3yielded a high conversion efficiency and high long-term stability for 3000 h without any notable carbon deposition. It is worthwhile to noting that the steam pre-treatment led to stable MgAl2O4islands on the NiCoMg/Al2O3catalyst preventing carbon deposition.
