Assessing the effect of acid and alkali treatment on a halloysite-based catalyst for dry reforming of methane.

ABSTRACT: Dry reforming of methane (DRM) has recently received wide attention owing to its outstanding performance in the reduction and conversion of CH₄ and CO₂ to syngas (H₂ and CO). From an industrial perspective, nickel (Ni)-supported catalysts have been deemed among the most suitable catalysts for DRM owing to their low cost and high activity compared to noble metals. However, a downside of nickel catalysts is their high susceptibility to deactivation due to coke formation and sintering at high temperatures. Using appropriate supports and preparation methods plays a major role in improving the activity and stability of Ni-supported catalysts. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are largely utilized in catalysis as a support for Ni owing to their abundance, low cost, and
