Abstract: A series of xMg@MCM-41(x=0, 0.05, 0.1) functional mesoporous materials were synthesized by a novel in-situ one pot method and then were used as support for Ni based catalysts. The results of XRD and TEM show that when the amount of Mg/Si (molar ratio) is 0.05, Mg@MCM-4 with a regular and ordered mesoporous structure is synthesized where Mg is introduced into the framework of MCM-41. Introducing Mg into the framework of the support can significantly enhance the basic properties of the catalyst, thus promoting the adsorption and activation of CO₂. The catalysts prepared in the experiments all have good thermal stability and catalytic activity. Among them, Ni/0.05Mg@MCM-41 shows the best low temperature reaction activity in the CO₂ methanation reaction.
