Abstract NiLaM (M=Ce and/or Zr) catalysts were prepared by the polymerized complex method and evaluated in the dry, oxidative dry, and tri-reforming of a synthetic biogas (CH4/CO2 = 1.5) at 800 °C and atmospheric pressure. The catalysts that possessed the highest number of total basic sites and stronger Ni-support interaction showed better activity and coke resistance. A lower level of carbon deposits, with higher reactivity, was found for these catalysts in tri-reforming experiments. However, catalyst deactivation was observed for NiLaCe, attributed to nickel re-oxidation.
