Resumen:
The catalytic decomposition of methane (CDM) is an attractive alternative for the production of COx-free hydrogen for use in fuel cells. Numerous supported metal catalysts have been tested for this process. Among them, Ni, Co and noble metals can catalyze the decomposition of methane forming carbon nanofibers under relative mild conditions. However, these catalysts rapidly deactivate [1-2]. Thus, in order to stabilize the active metal, lanthana alone or combined with silica is used in this work.
