Abstract Ni supported on two different silicas was prepared applying a polymer-assisted route and their activity and stability in CO 2 and steam reforming of methane was compared with catalysts prepared by conventional impregnation with Ni nitrate. The new catalysts are more active and stable in both reactions. The stability against deactivation is ascribed to increased metal-support interaction by forming smaller initial NiO particles. Additionally, less coke of deactivating type is formed over these catalysts.
