• reforming [5][6][7], partial oxidation [8][9][10], and dry reforming of methane (DRM) [11][12][13]. Among these technologies, DRM has attracted a growing body of research because of its potential to simultaneously utilize both carbon dioxide and methane gases. DRM is the most promising approach because the
