摘要
Heat and mass transport properties of heterogeneous catalysts have significant effects on their overall performance in many industrial chemical reaction processes. In this work, a new catalyst micro-architecture consisting of a highly thermally conductive SiC core with a high-surface-area metal-oxide shell is prepared through a charge-interaction-induced heterogeneous hydrothermal construction of SiC@NiAl-LDH core-shell microstructures. Calcination and reduction of the SiC@NiAl-LDH core-shell results in the formation of Ni nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed on SiC@Al2O3, referred to as Ni/SiC@Al2O3 core-shell catalyst. The Ni/SiC@Al2O3 exhibit petal-like shell morphology consisting of a number of Al2O3 platelets with their planes oriented perpendicular to the surface, which is beneficial for improved mass transfer. For an extended period of methane-stream-reforming reaction, the Ni/SiC@Al2O3 core-shell structure remained stable without any significant degradation at the core/shell interface. However, the catalyst suffered from coking and sintering likely associated with the relatively large Ni particle sizes and the low Al2O3 content. The synthesis procedure and chemistry for construction of supported Ni catalyst on the core-shell microstructure of the highly thermal conductive SiC core, and the morphology-controlled metal-oxide shell, could provide new opportunities for various catalytic reaction processes that require high heat flux and enhanced mass transport.
