Steam Reforming of Toluene as Tar Model Molecule Produced during Biomass Gasification with Ni-based Catalysts

Co, used as a promoter, can enhance the activity of LaNiO₃ perovskite catalyst and decrease the carbon deposition for steam reforming of toluene due to the stronger interaction between Ni and Co, formation of Ni-Co alloy, better Ni reducibility, and better dispersion of metal particle.
