In general, it is acknowledged that carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CRM) is a safe and environmentally acceptable technique of converting undesirable greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and CH4, into synthesis gas (CO and H2), which is then used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). However, this reaction is disadvantaged by carbon deposition and sintering. Several pieces of research have been carried out as a result of an attempt to uncover perfect catalysts that have high activity toward the primary process while simultaneously reducing the unwanted side reactions, such as the formation of coke. Nickel-based catalysts have attracted considerable attention due to their multiple advantages, such as cost-effectiveness, strong C-C bond-breaking ability, and high-temperature stability. As an additional point of discussion, this study covered the most recent advances achieved in developing Nickel-based catalysts for use in low-temperature CRM. Due to the fact that the fabrication of low-temperature CRM catalysts is feasible, this review study briefly examines the relevant supports and promoters that increase catalytic activity by modifying the interface between the nickel and the supports. © 2024 Author(s).
