Comparative study of Ni-Ce loading method: Beneficial effect of ultrasonic-assisted impregnation method in CO2 reforming of CH4 over Ni-Ce/SBA-15

A series of Ni-Ce/SBA-15 catalysts with 6 wt% Ce and 5 wt% Ni were synthesized using conventional impregnation (Ni-Ce/SBA-15(C-‎IM)), ultrasonic-assisted ‎impregnation (Ni-Ce/SBA-15(US-IM)) and reflux-assisted impregnation (Ni-Ce/SBA-15(R-IM)) methods The samples were characterized using XRD, TEM, S...
