Supported Ni catalysts are active in CO2 methanation. It is important to understand the reaction mechanism for the development of highly-active catalysts. In this study, we investigated the reaction pathways of CO2 methanation over Ni/Y2O3 and Ni/Al2O3 based on the adsorbates observed by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. For Ni/Al2O3, linear and bridged CO adsorbates were converted to nickel carbonyl hydride and/or formyl species, which would be further hydrogenated to methane. In contrast, the formation of formate adsorbates was specifically confirmed over Ni/Y2O3 under the CO2 methanation condition. The hydrogen molecule was activated by dissociatively-adsorbing on Ni particles. Then, the hydrogenation of formate adsorbates by the activated hydrogen species proceeded sequentially to form methane. The observed bridged CO species would not be a major intermediate for Ni/Y2O3.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
