Each step in the catalyst synthesis process plays an important role in tuning the catalyst structures. For zeolite-supported nickel catalysts, we found the conventional calcination-reduction method typically leads to the formation of large nickel particles, but a pre-aging in hydrogen or nitrogen at a low temperature prior to final reduction can result in ultra-small nickel nanoparticles in a metallic state. This pre-aging treatment facilitates the interaction between Ni2+ cations and silanol nests on zeolite before the decomposition of the metal salt, leading to the formation of nanoparticles with an average diameter of ~1.2 nm. In contrast, the pre-calcination in oxygen caused the Ni2+ aggregation before the decomposition of the metal salt precursor, yielding nickel nanoparticles larger than 5 nm. Given the structure sensitivity of nickel in cyclohexane dehydrogenation for hydrogen production, the ultra-small nickel nanoparticles exhibited significantly enhanced activity and durability compared to previous nickel catalysts.
