Synthesis, characterization and catalytic performance of MgO-coated Ni/SBA-15 catalysts for methane dry reforming to syngas and hydrogen

In comparison with those of MgO-impregnated SBA-15 material, the MgO-coated SBA-15 using one-pot strategy possessed obviously larger medium basic sites and a higher dispersion of Ni species, which inhibited the occurring of carbon formation and resulted in a better catalytic stability.
