RF Plasma Modification of Supported Pt Catalysts for oxidation of methane by Wang et al. (13). The resultant catalyst CO -CH Reforming exhibited overall improved performance compared to a catalyst of 2 4 identical composition prepared via calcination. In addition, the 1 1 1 plasma treated Ni-Fe/Al2O3 catalyst also exhibited better resistance Jason Zhan , Praveen Boopalachandran , Ben W.-L. Jang , Jai Choi2, Richard B. Timmons2 to carbon deposition (13). 1Department of Chemistry, Texas AM University-Commerce, The present study examines further the utility of plasma Commerce, TX 75429-3011 processing in developing improved catalysts for eventual use in 2Department of Chemistry Biochemistry, U. of Texas-Arlington, CO2/CH4 reforming operations. Specifically, we report plasma Arlington, TX 76019 modification effects on metal-support interactions of 1%Pt/Al2O3 catalysts. By substituting plasma treatment for the conventional high Introduction temperature calcination step, both higher metal dispe
