Popis: A low temperature CO2 methanation is a thermodynamically favorable route to produce highly selective methane while preventing catalyst deactivation. Ni-Ba/Sm2O3 catalysts synthesized using one-pot hydrothermal method exhibited enhanced reducibility with high CO2 adsorption capacity to achieve CO2 conversion at low temperatures. CO2 conversion occurred at 200 °C with 5% conversion, progressively increasing to reach equilibrium at 400 °C with 100% selectivity to methane. BaO promotes surface oxygen vacancy in Sm2O3, which is responsible for forming bidentate formate species during CO2 methanation. Comparative DRIFTS analysis with Ni-Ba/Sm2O3 synthesized using impregnation indicates the catalysts followed different mechanistic pathways depending on the amount of surface oxygen vacancy generated by BaO/Sm2O3 proximity.
