The catalysts were characterized by BET, H2 chemisorption, XRD, TPR, TEM and tested for methane partial oxidation to syngas in the temperature range of 400-800 ℃at atmospheric pressure. The results showed that the activity of methane partial oxidation on the catalysts was apparently dependent on Nb loading. It seemed that the addition of Nb lowered the catalytic activity for methane partial oxidation and increased the extent of carbon deposition. This might be due to the strong interaction between NiO and Nb-modified support and reduction of surface oxygen reducibility.展开更多
