Hydrogen is an alternative source of renewable energy that can be produced by methane decomposition without any COx formation. In this work, an impregnation method was used to prepare a set of Ni-based catalysts (5% to 50%) supported on mesostructured silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for its application...
