Comment on “Dry reforming of methane by stable Ni–Mo nanocatalysts on single-crystalline MgO”
Yun Hang Hu, Eli Ruckenstein
Abstract
(Reports, 14 February 2020, p. 777) ignore the reported efficient Ni/MgO solid-solution catalysts and overstate the novelty and importance of the Mo-doped Ni/MgO catalysts for the dry reforming of methane. We show that the Ni/MgO solid-solution catalyst that we reported in 1995, which is efficient and stable for the dry reforming, is superior to the Mo-doped Ni/MgO catalyst.
