Abstract

A method of dry reforming of methane (CH4) is provided. The method includes contacting at a temperature of 500 to 1000 degree Celsius (° C.) a reactant gas mixture including methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) with a bimetallic supported catalyst. The bimetallic supported catalyst includes a porous catalyst support and a bimetallic catalyst. The porous catalyst support includes aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and magnesium oxide (MgO). The bimetallic catalyst includes nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) disposed on the porous catalyst support. The method further includes collecting a product gas mixture including hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). The bimetallic supported catalyst includes 8 to 16 weight percent (wt. %) nickel and 2 to 14 wt. % copper, each based on a total weight of bimetallic supported catalyst.
