This research aims to enhance the catalytic process of methane dry reforming using a dual-atom ruthenium catalyst.
Developed a dual-atom ruthenium catalyst anchored in boron nitride nanolayer
Examined conversions of CH4 and CO2 at 650 °C
Performed stability tests over 1000 hours at 600 °C
Studied mechanism involving electron-deficient and electron-rich Ru sites
Achieved CH4 conversion of 69% and CO2 conversion of 76% near thermodynamic equilibrium
Maintained exceptional stability with negligible coking for 1000 hours
Identified a unique dual-atom Ru structure enabling a Langmuir-Hinshelwood pathway
Reduced barrier for reaction coupling between CH4 and CO2 to produce syngas
