Robust mesoporous bimetallic yolk–shell catalysts for chemical CO2 upgrading via dry reforming of methane

We report the synthesis of mesoporous ZnO/Ni@m-SiO₂ yolk–shell particles. The unique ZnO/Ni@m SiO₂ catalysts demonstrate impressive resistance to sintering and coking for dry reforming of methane (DRM). They also display long term stability with high levels of conversion and selectivity, making this catalyst promising for chemical CO₂ upgrading.（ Reaction Chemistry & Engineering, 2018, 3, 433-436.
