What is it about?
design of catalysts for low-temperature partial oxidation of methane to produce syngas for further conversion to liquid fuels.

Why is it important?
At this time of increasingly stringent environmental legislation, there is no catalyst available that is sufficiently active and stable, at the low temperatures required, to treat methane in the catalytic converter system or convert it into a liquid fuel for vehicles casting doubt over the future of natural gas vehicles (NGVs).
Perspectives
The catalytic partial oxidation of methane was studied with the aim to convert methane into valuable products via the formation of syngas over cheap transition metals under milder conditions (~ 400°C) than those currently used. Nickel supported on η-Al2O3 and ZSM-5(80) catalysts with and without the addition of ceria-zirconia, were prepared by co-precipitation and wet impregnation methods and used for catalytic partial oxidation of methane.
