Wt.%BaTiO3–Al2O3(wt.%BaTiO3=0–100%) composite supports were synthesized through varying the BaTiO3content by the “sol–(xero)gel” method. Ni/wt.%BaTiO3–Al2O3nickel-based catalysts prepared by incipient wetness method were evaluated for dry reforming of methane carried out between 690°C and 800°C. Characterizations using XRD, IR, N2adsorption–desorption, H2-TPR, SEM, and XPS were conducted to investigate the structure or properties of the wt.%BaTiO3–Al2O3composite supports as well as the Ni/wt.%BaTiO3–Al2O3catalysts. The results demonstrate that BaTiO3particles are discontinuously dispersed on the surface of γ-Al2O3in the form of individual isolated particles for the wt.%BaTiO3–Al2O3composite supports. Meanwhile, it is probably that the coexistence of BaAl2O4spinel phase with the BaTiO3phase on the surface of γ-Al2O3inhibits the Ni/wt.%BaTiO3–Al2O3catalysts from the formation of NiAl2O4spinel phase, improving the catalytic performance of the catalysts. The Ni/BaTiO3catalyst showed poor stability and severe coke formation in the dry reforming of methane tested at 690°C, which was thought to be mainly originated from the excessive strong electronic donor intensity of Ni/BaTiO3catalyst as well as the resulted CO disproportionation reaction. Compared with the Ni/BaTiO3catalyst, the Ni/wt.%BaTiO3–Al2O3catalysts with the addition of BaTiO3had a higher dispersion of active nickel and a weakened electronic donor intensity of the NiOxspecies. As a result, the synthesized Ni/32.4%BaTiO3–Al2O3catalyst exhibited a high catalytic activity, excellent stability as well as coking resistance for lower temperature dry reforming of methane.
