Ni/Co‐Decorated Silicon Carbide Foam Coated With Graphene for Dry Methane Reforming Under Induction Heating
Abstract
ABSTRACT The urgent need to decarbonize the chemical industry is placing growing emphasis on the electrification of industrial processes. Dry methane reforming (DRM) offers a promising route for syngas (H 2 /CO) production through the simultaneous conversion of two major greenhouse gases, CO 2 and CH 4 . However, the process is hampered by modest catalytic performance and fast deactivation. In this study, we address these limitations by implementing localized, rapid magnetic induction heating (IH), using a graphene‐coated NiCo/SiC catalyst as a susceptor, which ensures efficient heat delivery and enhanced reaction control. The results clearly evidence that IH significantly enhances both the catalytic activity and long‐term stability of the DRM process at relatively low reaction temperatures. Importantly, this approach is compatible with a wide range of existing catalyst systems, including industrial formulations, and offers a practical pathway for retrofitting conventional reactors. Beyond performance gains, IH also shows potential as a strategy for chemical energy storage, aligning with current electrification and sustainability goals in the chemical sector.
