In the partial oxidation of methane (POM) to syngas, carbon deposition on the catalyst causing catalyst deactivation or reactor plugging was reported[1～3]. Our previous work showed that methane dissociation on metallic sites to H2 and NixC is an initial step of POM over Ni/Al2O3[4]. If NixC can not be consumed immediately after its formation, it has a tendency to dissolve into the nickel crystal to form carbon whiskers. The bulk carbon and carbon whiskers are more difficult to be oxidized than NixC. Therefore, prohibiting the transformation of NixC to bulk carbon and carbon whiskers can depress the formation of carbon deposition effectively.
