Recent advances in SMR catalysis focus on improving catalyst performance, longevity, and resistance to deactivation. Innovations include:
Enhanced Catalyst Formulations: Development of bimetallic catalysts (e.g., nickel-cobalt) and advanced support materials (e.g., ceria, zirconia) to improve activity and stability. Nanostructured Catalysts: Utilization of nanostructured catalysts to increase surface area and enhance catalytic efficiency. Regeneration Techniques: Techniques for catalyst regeneration and reactivation to extend catalyst life and reduce operational costs.
