CO 2 reforming with methane (DRM) is a potential effective carbon neutralization strategy to convert greenhouse gases into syngas. The key to the DRM process is to design active and coking resistant catalysts. Herein, hollow hierarchical bimetallic NiMo-HMgO catalysts were prepared via hydrothermal-impregnation method. The prepared NiMo-HMgO catalysts exhibited higher catalytic performance during the DRM process than commercial NiMo-CMgO catalysts, due to the formation of Ni-Mo-MgO composite on hierarchical MgO (HMgO), which is promoted by exposed (111) polar surface of HMgO with alternate arrangement of anion and cation layers. The deposited carbon and stability can be effectively regulated by adjusting the amount of Ni and the molar ratio of Mo/(Ni+Mo). The synergistic effect of metal and HMgO can provide reference for the research in other related fields.

Different Al2O3 carriers were synthesized by co-precipitation and sol-gel method. From them, 4%NiO-20%MoO3/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, NH3 temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and H2-temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and subsequently used for selective hydrogenation of naphthalene to high-value tetralin. The results showed that Ni-Mo/so-ge Al2O3 (900) exhibited better catalytic performance than Ni Mo/commercial Al2O3, achieving 99.56% naphthalene conversion and 99.43% tetralin selectivity.
