Experimental and computational investigation on underlying factors promoting high coke resistance in NiCo bimetallic catalysts during dry reforming of methane
Abstract Global warming remains one of the greatest challenges. One of the most prominent solutions is to close the carbon cycle by utilizing the greenhouse gas: CO2, and CH4, as a feedstock via the dry reforming of methane (DRM). This work provided an insight into how the NiCo bimetallic catalyst c...
