Several nickel-incorporated SiO2 catalysts with MoO3 molar content in range of 0.5% to 5.0% were prepared by the hydrothermal synthesis method and investigated for synthetic natural gas (SNG) production in a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor. MoO3 can significantly improve the activity of Ni-SiO2 due to electron transfer from MoO3 to Ni species, while excessive MoO3 (>3.0%) will reduce the catalyst activity due to partial coverage of active metal by MoO3 and formation of Ni–Mo alloy. Ni-0.5%Mo-SiO2 achieves the best activity with 100% CO conversion and ∼99% CH4 yield at 400 °C, 2.0 MPa, and 12000 mL/g/h. The results of thermogravimetry (TG) and temperature-programming reduction (TPR) show that MoO3 can inhibit carbon deposition of Ni-SiO2 and excessive MoO3 (>1.0%) will weaken the interaction between metallic nickel and the support. The results of XRD, TPR, and TG show that catalyst sintering rather than carbon deposition leads to catalyst deactivation in catalytic stability and thermal stability tests.
