Dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction is currently receiving renewed attentions for carbon capture, utilization & storage (CCUS) owing to its advantages of simultaneous reaction with CH4 and CO2 by forming H2 and CO, which are the ideal products for industries. This review discussed the mechanism of DRM over Ni-based catalysts, the issues and the advances of performance enhancement of the catalysts for the promotion of the technology. Owing to the fact that Ni is an active cost-effective metal for DRM, however, with propensity for sintering and carbon deposition that inhibits its performance, significant strategies have been promoted for strengthening the performance of Ni-based catalysts such as incorporating supports and doping promoters by various synthesis methods. 1724 | Catal.
