Novel synthesis of a NiMoP phosphide catalyst in a CH4–CO2 gas mixture†
Abstract
NiMo bimetallic phosphide was synthesized from its corresponding oxidic precursor in a 1 : 1 CH4 : CO2 gas mixture for the first time. The in situ synthesized NiMoP phase in the feed for CH4–CO2 reforming can exhibit a higher activity compared to the one prepared in H2.
