Biogas reforming is a renewable and promising way to produce syngas. In this work, we demonstrate a novel strategy to directly and electrochemically convert CH₄–CO₂ into H₂–CO. Electrochemical reforming of dry CH₄–CO₂ (1 : 1) mixture is successfully achieved in a 10 μm-thick titanate cathode with oxygen byproduct generated in anode in an oxide-ion-conducting solid oxide electrolyser under external voltages. In addition, loading iron nanocatalyst in titanate cathode or/and increasing applied voltages has further improved CH₄–CO₂ conversion. The highest methane conversion of approximately 80% is demonstrated for direct electrochemical reforming in cathode in contrast to the low conversion under open circuit condition in oxide-ion-conducting solid oxide electrolyser cathode.
