Methane can be converted into other useful products such as H₂ and liquid fuels to reduce its environmental impact. Due to majorly high energy requirements and the endothermic nature of the reforming process, catalysts are essential. The catalyst preparation method is one of the aspects that can improve the catalytic performance by enhancing the catalyst’s physicochemical properties. These methods alter the metal-support interaction, thereby changing the kinetics of the catalyst which can result in enhanced productivity, reduced cost, and optimized energy requirements. This review compares state-of-the-art catalyst preparation methods and discusses their effects on the physicochemical properties of the catalysts used in methane reforming processes.

甲烷可以转化为其他有用的产品，例如H ₂和液体燃料，以减少其对环境的影响。由于主要是高能量需求和重整过程的吸热性质，催化剂是必不可少的。催化剂的制备方法是可以通过增强催化剂的理化性质来改善催化性能的方面之一。这些方法改变了金属与载体的相互作用，从而改变了催化剂的动力学，这可以提高生产率，降低成本并优化能源需求。这篇评论比较了最先进的催化剂制备方法，并讨论了它们对甲烷重整过程中所用催化剂的物理化学性质的影响。
