TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively review the recent advances for chemical-looping reforming of CH4 (CLR) technology, which breaks down the traditional CH4 reforming process (including steam and dry reforming) into two separate half-steps, namely CH4 oxidation and replenishment of oxygen carrier (OC) with appropriate oxidizing agents.

TL;DR: In this article, a first principles study using periodic density functional theory on the reaction between α-Fe2O3 and CH4 during chemical looping process was presented, which showed that the sequential dissociations of CH4 were the dominant rate-determining process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively investigated the pyrolysis characteristics of the direct coal liquefaction residue (DCLR) from China Shenhua industrial direct coal liquidation plant, and the results showed that the interaction among the fractions is unfavorable for the evolution of volatile matter.

TL;DR: In this article, a chemical-looping dry (CO2) reforming (CLDR) of CH4 over the LaxCe1-x-Fe2O3/Al 2O3 redox catalysts paves a novel path for efficient syngas production and intensive CO2 reduction.

TL;DR: In this article, the promotional effect of Ce on Ni/ZSM-5 catalysts in the CO 2 reforming of CH 4 reaction was investigated in a fixed-bed reactor at atmospheric pressure.
