Abstract

This study reviews recent advancements in Ni-based catalysts for CO2 methanation, emphasizing high thermal stability and catalytic performance at elevated temperatures. Ni catalysts are preferred for their strong hydrogen adsorption, high activity, and methane selectivity. Strategies such as optimizing metal loading, using efficient supports, and introducing promoters enhance thermal stability by preventing sintering and carbon deposition. The produced methane serves as a valuable feedstock for synthetic fuels and chemicals, improving the economic feasibility of the CO2 methanation process. These findings underscore the importance of thermal stability in developing effective Ni catalysts for large-scale CO2 methanation.

본 논문은 CO2 메탄화를 위한 니켈 기반 촉매의 최근 발전을 검토하며, 특히 고온에서 높은 열 안정성과 촉매 성능을 달성하는 데 중점을 둔다. 니켈 촉매는 강한 수소 흡착력, 높은 활성도 및 메탄 선택성으로 인해 선호된다. 금속 담지 최적화, 고효율 지지체 사용, 조촉매 도입 등의 전략이 소결 및 탄소 침적을 방지하고 열 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 탐구되었다. 다양한 지지체는 촉매의 활성, 선택성 및 안정성에 중요한 영향을 미치는데, 촉매와 지지체간의 결합력이 특히 중요하다. 생성된 메탄은 합성 연료 및 화학 물질의 귀중한 원료로 사용되어 CO2 메탄화 공정의 경제적 타당성을 높인다. 이러한 결과는 대규모 CO2 메탄화를 위한 효율적인 니켈 촉매 개발에 있어 열 안정성의 중요한 역할을 강조한다. 결론적으로, Ni 촉매를 이용한 CO2 메탄화 반응은 기술적, 환경적, 경제적 측면에서 매우 유망한 분야이며, 지속적인 연구와 개발을 통해 더욱 발전할 것으로 기대된다. CO2 메탄화는 재생 가능한 에너지 자원의 활용과 온실가스 감축이라는 두 가지 목표를 동시에 달성할 수 있는 잠재력을 가지고 있어 미래 에너지 전환 과정에서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다.
