Provided herein is a novel silica-supported nickel nanocomposite and a novel one-pot solution combustion synthesis of that nanocomposite. The method allows the synthesis of small size nickel nanoparticles (e.g., 3 nm to 40 nm) for which a considerable percentage of nickel is inserted into silica, experiencing strong metal-support interaction. These exceptional physicochemical properties make them desirable for various industrial applications, such as electronic, heterogeneous catalysis as well as conversion and storage of energy.

Metal-silica nanocomposites prepared through a single step solution combustion synthesis (SCS)

This invention relates to development of novel Cu-based nanocatalysts synthesized via one-pot solution combustion synthesis for COhydrogenation to methanol. The novel Cu-based catalyst has exceptional activity for COhydrogenation with high methanol selectivity in the reaction temperature range between 250° C.-350° C. The novel catalyst also exhibits excellent resilience to deactivation due to sintering.

Active and stable copper-based catalyst for COhydrogenation to methanol

This invention relates to a novel palladium catalyst for the substantially complete oxidative removal of methane from exhaust streams at low operating temperatures compared to other current palladium catalysts and to methods of preparing the catalyst. Use of the catalyst to remove methane from vehicle exhaust streams, crude oil production and processing exhaust streams, petroleum refining exhaust streams and natural gas production and processing exhaust streams.

Palladium catalyst for oxidation of methane and method of preparation and use thereof

This invention relates to a novel nickel catalyst and a novel one-pot solution combustion synthesis of that catalyst for the COreforming and low temperature steam reformation of methane. The novel nickel catalyst has exceptional activity for dry reforming and steam reforming of methane, and exhibits excellent resilience to deactivation due to carbon formation.
