  TAILORING OF NICKEL CATALYSTS FOR CO₂ UTILIZATION: INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF SUPPORTS

  Date: November 03, 2025
  Time: 11:00 AM
  Location: Dean’s Smart Lab, 4th Floor, SBASSE Building

  Speaker: Dr. Muhammad Usman
  

  The catalytic hydrogenation of CO₂ to CH₄ is a promising strategy for renewable energy storage and carbon recycling. This talk presents the tailoring of nickel-based catalysts by exploring the influence of support materials and structural modifications on low-temperature CO₂ methanation. Reducible and irreducible metal oxide-supported Ni catalysts were prepared via wet impregnation, while Ni-based perovskites were synthesized using the sol–gel method. Catalytic performance was evaluated in a fixed-bed reactor & online GC, and detailed characterization (XRD, FE-SEM, Raman, BET, CO₂-TPD, H₂-TPR, XPS) was conducted to establish structure–activity correlations of lab-synthesized Nickel-based catalysts.
