How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The investigation of the Boudouard reaction and methane cracking was performed over Ni/CaO, Ni/Al2O3, and Ni/MgO. The catalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation. Both catalysts and carbon deposits were studied using AAS, BET, TPD, TPR, TPO, TOC, and XRD. The optimal temperatures for the graphite-like carbon species formation during the reactions were found to be 450 and 700 °C, respectively. The results showed that the activity of the catalytic systems is related to the number of weakly interacted Ni particles with the support. This research provides insight into the carbon deposit formation mechanism and the support role in the reactions.
