In situ synthesis of Ni/MgO catalysts on inorganic paper-like matrix for methane steam reforming.

Highlights: [•] Flexible and porous paper-like Ni/MgO catalysts were successfully fabricated. [•] Ni/MgO catalysts were dispersed on the inorganic fiber networks of paper composites. [•] Catalytic steam reforming of methane proceeded efficiently to produce hydrogen. [•] Paper catalysts exhibited much higher performance than conventional solid catalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
