Glycerol steam reforming over perovskite-derived nickel-based catalysts.

Highlights: [•] La1–x Ca x NiO3 perovskite-type oxides were investigated in glycerol steam reforming. [•] The perovskite structure facilitates the uniform distribution of the containing elements. [•] The partial substitution of La by Ca significantly affected the surface properties of La1–x Ca x NiO3. [•] Nickel dispersion and metal-support interaction were critical to the catalytic performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
