This gas has multiple potential applications, such as hydrogen production or use in Fischer-Tropsch processes, among others. Both processes commonly rely on Ni-based catalysts due to their high activity, low cost, and wide availability. However, the use of Ni presents significant challenges, such as sintering at high temperatures and the formation of carbon deposits, which lead to catalyst deactivation.This thesis focuses on the development of Ni-based hydrotalcite catalysts promoted with Fe and/or Cu, specifically designed for dry reforming of methane (DRM) and steam reforming of toluene (SRT). The design of these catalysts aims to enhance their resistance to both coke formation and deactivation during the reforming reactions.Additionally, the research explores the synergistic effect of Ni, Fe, and Cu on catalytic activity in these reforming reactions. Through this approach, the aim is to advance the design of catalysts that are more efficient, stable, and sustainable for the production of synthesis gas and hydrogen.
