Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is an encouraging technique to utilize the two main GHG's (i.e., CO2 and CH4). Three different Ni based nano-catalysts i.e., Ni/Al2O3, Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2 and Ni/Al2O3-MgO were synthesized by wet-impregnation method and tested for DRM. The prepared catalysts were characterized via BET, XRD, FESEM-EDX, and TEM analysis, to determine the textural properties, phases, morphology, and elemental composition of catalysts. The catalysts were then tested for DRM at low reaction temperature of 650 °C. The Ni/Al2O3-MgO catalyst showed the optimum performance with elevated conversions of CH4 and CO2, followed by Ni/Al2O3 and Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2 catalysts, respectively. © 2021 The Author(s) date: 2021 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85121775880&doi=10.1016%2fj.mlblux.2021.100095&partnerID=40&md5=5514e2df54d15bad99ca04f9a2da6607 id_number: 10.1016/j.mlblux.2021.100095 full_text_status: none publication: Materials Letters: X volume: 12 refereed: TRUE issn: 25901508 citation: Rosdin, R.D.B. and Yusuf, M. and Abdullah, B.
