Abstract

The development of catalysts for low-temperature methane combustion is crucial in addressing the greenhouse effect. An effective industrial catalyst strategy involves optimizing noble metal utilization and boosting metal–metal interaction. Here, the PdNi-H catalyst was synthesized using the self-assembly method, achieving the high dispersion and close proximity of Pd and Ni atoms compared to the counterparts prepared by the impregnation method, as confirmed by EDS mapping. The XRD and TEM results revealed Pd2+ and Ni2+ doping within the CeO2 lattice, causing distortions and forming Pd-O-Ce or Ni-O-Ce structures. These structures promoted oxygen vacancy formation in CeO2, and this was further confirmed by the Raman and XPS results. Consequently, the PdNi-H catalyst demonstrated an excellent redox ability and catalytic activity, achieving lower ignition and complete methane burning temperatures at 282 and 387 °C, respectively. The highly dispersed PdNi species played a pivotal role in activating methane for enhanced redox ability. Additionally, the narrow size distribution range contributed to more vacancies on the surface of CeO2, as confirmed by the XPS results, thereby facilitating the activation of gas phase oxygen to form oxygen species (O2). This collaborative catalytic approach presents a promising strategy for developing efficient and stable methane combustion catalysts at low temperatures.
