Ni-(ZrO2) catalyst without lanthanum prepared in this study has a good initial performance, but as the reactions keep progressing, the activities gradually decrease. In contrast, the activities of Ni-(La2O3)0.1-(ZrO2)0.9 catalyst have high thermal stability and coke resistance due to the presence of La. Both methane conversion and hydrogen yield of Ni-(La2O3)0.1-(ZrO2)0.9 in non-reduced form are better than reduced form and as good as commercial Ni-based catalyst (ICI 57-4).", pages = "781-786(6)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/rci/2008/00000034/F0020008/art00017" doi = "doi:10.1163/156856708786189429" }
