TL;DR: In this article, a nickel-based catalyst with high activity at low temperature for partial oxidation of methane (POM) was synthesized by two-step preparation method, where Ni-nanoparticles supported on CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and a new procedure was developed where cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) acted as morphology controlling agent and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as size controlling agent for nickel nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPO) to synthesis gas was performed over differently prepared CeO 2 supported nickel catalysts with 6-wt% Ni content.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Ni-nanoparticles supported on MgO promoted nanocrytalline zinc oxide catalyst was prepared by hydrothermal method in presence of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

TL;DR: In this article, a new synthesis strategy was developed to prepare 2-5 nm metallic silver nanoparticles supported on tungsten oxide (WO3) nanorods with diameters between 30 and 40 nm, in the presence of cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide: CTAB), capping agent (polyvinylpyrrolidone: PVP), and hydrazine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have shown that the size of the catalyst as well as the spinel phase plays a crucial role in the activity by favoring the oxidation of toluene.
