Development of High Throughput Screening Method of Ni-supported Catalysts for the Decomposition of Methane to Hydrogen and Carbon

摘要

A high throughput screening (HTS) method for identifying supported nickel catalysts for the decomposition of methane was developed.Porous materials such as H-beta(SiO_2/AlO_2O_3=150),H-beta(25),and H-ZSM-5(90) were highly effective supports for methane decomposition.The total time to find 3 active catalysts among 18 catalysts could be reduced to about one-third of that required with the conventional method.A Ni content of 5-10 mmol g-support~(-1) was adequate.The HTS results were consistent with the results obtained using a conventional reactor.
