Non-thermal plasma-assisted dry reforming of methane over transition metal carbides (Mo2C and WC): Tuning carbon sources and C/M ratio for enhanced syngas production

Key Points

• Syngas production is significantly enhanced when adjusting the C/M ratio during dry reforming.
• Key evidence shows that using non-thermal plasma increases methane conversion rates to 85% with optimal conditions.
• Assessment using transition metal carbides like Mo2C and WC reveals their effectiveness in syngas generation.
• This implies further exploration of carbon sources is necessary to optimize syngas applications.
