Low-temperature CO2 hydrogenation to CO on Ni-incorporated LaCoO3 perovskite catalysts

This work introduces LaCo1-xNixO3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.25, and 0.4) perovskite catalysts for enhancing the low temperature performance of reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction. Incorporating Ni lowers the interaction between La-site and B-site, weakening the electron donation from La-site to B-site. The B-site elements with the weak interaction can be easily diffused from the bulk to form exsolved bimetallic Co–Ni alloy on the surface. This...
