Catalytic methane dry reforming (MDR) is one straightforward way to reduce CO2 and CH4. In this study, the influence of nickel (Ni) loading on the catalytic performance of fibrous zeolite-Y catalysts (Ni/FHY) for MDR was explored. The study involved the synthesis and testing of Ni/FHY with varying Ni loadings (1 wt to 10 wt). The results demonstrate that the metal loading significantly affects the catalysts' performance through metal-support interaction. The catalytic activity showed that the performance of FHY increased with optimum metal loading of 5 wt where the CO2 conversion increased to 90.3 from 82.2, and CH4 conversion to 94.2 from 79.6. The findings suggest that the 5 wt optimal Ni loading showed the critical role of the metal-support interaction in shaping catalytic properties. Hence, this work provides insights into catalyst optimization for sustainable industrial processes, highlights the importance of the synergistic metal-support interaction, and provides insights into the relationship between Ni content and catalytic behavior. Thus, it offers a basis for optimizing catalysts in MDR and contributes to the advancement of sustainable industrial processes. © 2024 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC date: 2024 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Miskan, S.N. and Abdulkadir, B.A. and Ainirazali, N. and Abd Jalil, A. and Lim, J.W. and Setiabudi, H.D.
