Novel synthesis of a NiMoP phosphide catalyst via carbothermal reduction for dry reforming of methane

Abstract

A highly dispersed NiMoP phosphide catalyst with an average particle size of 9.1 nm and a carbon content of 53.5 wt% was firstly synthesized by a carbothermal route using glucose as a carbon source. The current NiMoP catalyst can show higher catalytic activity and stability compared to the one prepared by a traditional H₂ reduction route.
