Scalable Exsolution‐Derived E‐Ni/m‐MgAlOx Catalysts with Anti‐Sintering Stability for Methane Dry Reforming

open access: yesSmall, Volume 21, Issue 43, October 29, 2025.
A sintering‐resistant E‐Ni/m‐MgAlOx catalyst with exsolved Ni nanoparticles shows >1000 h stability in methane dry reforming, achieving cumulative greenhouse gas conversion above 20000 L·gcat−1 at 800 °C–900 °C. Abstract Sintering and carbon deposition are primary causes of deactivation in Ni‐based catalysts during methane dry reforming (MDR).
