Trimetallic NiCoM catalysts (M = Mn, Fe, Cu) for methane conversion into synthesis gas

The investigation of dry reforming of methane (DRM) and the partial oxidation of methane (POM) over mesoporous catalysts containing trimetallic active component NiCoM (M=Mn, Fe, or Cu) supported on ceria solid solution has demonstrated that the introduction of 10 mol% Mn can enhance the stability of a NiCo active component (anticoking performance) due to a smaller metal particle size, alloy formation, and a synergetic effect between Ni–Co–Mn.
