Dry reforming of propane (DRP) with CO 2 was examined over iron–ceria spinel (FeCe 2 O 4 ) that was synthesized on mesoporous alumina foam by the sol–gel method. The FeCe 2 O 4 /Al-F catalyst exhibited significant catalytic activity for the DRP with propane and CO 2 conversions of 93% and 76%, respectively. Moreover, the redox behavior of the spinel was found to greatly reduce the deposition of carbon, which could be attributed to the oxidation of surface carbon to CO via the interaction with FeCe 2 O 4 lattice oxygen. The FeCe 2 O 4 /Al-F catalyst with good catalytic activity, long-term stability and coke resistance may be a promising candidate for the DRP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
