A team led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has found a way to thwart deactivation.

The team improved a reaction called dry reforming of methane that converts methane and carbon dioxide into syngas, a valued mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide used by oil and chemical companies worldwide.

The strategy may apply broadly to other catalysts.

The high-performance catalyst was synthesized at ORNL's Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences .

Next, the researchers will develop other catalyst formulations for the dry reforming of methane reaction that are stable under a broad range of conditions.

"We relied on rational design, not trial and error, to make the catalyst better," says Polo-Garzon .
