Efficient syngas production from methane reforming in solid oxide electrolyser with LSCM cathode loaded with Ni–Cu catalysts

This work studies electrochemical reforming of CH 4 /CO 2 (1:1) in an oxide-ion-conducting solid oxide electrolyzer with perovskite cathode La 0.75 Sr 0.25 Cr 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 3 −  δ (LSCM). The Ni, Cu, and bimetallic Ni–Cu nanocatalysts are, respectively, loaded to LSCM electrode to enhance electrochem...

Description
Summary:This work studies electrochemical reforming of CH 4 /CO 2 (1:1) in an oxide-ion-conducting solid oxide electrolyzer with perovskite cathode La 0.75 Sr 0.25 Cr 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 3 −  δ (LSCM). The Ni, Cu, and bimetallic Ni–Cu nanocatalysts are, respectively, loaded to LSCM electrode to enhance electrochemical biogas reforming performances. The synergetic effect of Ni and Cu produces excellent cathode activity with Faraday efficiency considerably improved by 20 %.
