Assessing the potential of xNi-yMg-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by EISA-one-pot synthesis towards CO2 methanation: An overall study

Mesoporous xNi-yMg-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by combined evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) and one-pot techniques were tested in CO2 methanation reaction. All calcined/reduced materials were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), CO2 adsorption, H2 temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of Mg and Ni...
