	%X Ni-based catalysts with different amounts of Na as
promoter from 2 to 6 wt % were prepared by solution combustion
method. The catalytic activity was investigated in syngas methanation
reaction. Carbon oxides conversion and methane selectivity are greatly
influenced by sodium loading. Adding 2 wt% Na remarkably improves
catalytic activity and long-term stability, attributed to its smaller mean
NiO particle size, better distribution, and milder metal-support
interaction. However, excess addition of Na results in deactivation
distinctly due to the blockage of active sites.
