• conditions, influence the dry reforming reactions and product yields. In this review, different strategies for enhancing catalytic activity and the effect of metal dispersion on Mg-containing oxide catalysts are highlighted. Keywords: carbon formation; catalyst development; dry reforming of methane

• review mainly focuses on the mechanism of DRM, carbon formation and removal, the role of Mg-containing oxide catalysts in resistance to catalyst deactivation, Mg-containing oxide catalyst development, and the effect of reaction conditions on catalyst performance.

• chemical structure with the applied catalysts, feed gas ratio, and other process conditions [24][68][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]. In the past decade, most researchers have focused on catalyst development to decrease or eliminate carbon formation and have struggled to understand the mechanism of carbon
