Ni–CeO2, Ni–ZrO2and Ni–Ce0.8Zr0.2O2catalysts have been prepared by a co-precipitation method to develop catalysts suitable for synthesis gas production for gas to liquid (GTL) process. A conventional impregnation method was also employed to prepare Ni/CeO2, Ni/ZrO2and Ni/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2catalysts to compare the impregnated catalysts with the co-precipitated ones. Ni content was fixed at 15% for both cases. It has been confirmed that the co-precipitated Ni–CeO2and Ni–Ce0.8Zr0.2O2catalysts exhibited relatively high activity as well as stability, while the impregnated Ni/CeO2and Ni/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2catalysts slowly deactivated with time on stream at 800°C. At the temperature range from 700 to 750°C, co-precipitated Ni–Ce0.8Zr0.2O2catalyst showed higher CH4and CO2conversion than Ni–CeO2catalyst. The enhanced catalytic activity and stability of the co-precipitated Ni–Ce0.8Zr0.2O2catalyst is due to the combination of nano-crystalline nature of cubic Ce0.8Zr0.2O2support and finely dispersed nano-sized NiO crystallites resulting in intimate contact between Ni and support, better Ni dispersion, and enhanced oxygen transfer during the reaction.
