It is found that the interaction between Ni and support determines the catalytic performance of Ni/Zr–Yb–O and the residual sodium content negatively affects the interaction between Ni and support. Cat-1 exhibits an excellent catalytic performance.During a long run time of 380 h, no deactivation is observed and both CO conversion and CH4 selectivity maintain a level above 90%. However, Cat-3 and Cat-5 suffer rapid deactivation under the same reaction condition. The characterization results indicate the strong interaction between Ni and support enables Cat-1 to possess well dispersed Ni species, resistance to sintering and carbon deposition and thus the excellent catalytic performance. However, the presence of sodium ions over Ni/Zr–Yb–O degrades the interaction between Ni and support and the catalytic performance, especially for the stability. The relative weak interaction between Ni and support results in severe sintering of both ZrO2 and Ni under the reaction condition, carbon deposition and the poor catalytic performance.展开更多
