FIB-STEM unveiled nanostructure details otherwise undistinguishable by conventional techniques. The catalytic performance was evaluated in the dry reforming of methane at 700-900 ºC, using a CH4:CO2 1:1 feedstock, and exploring high Weight Hourly Space Velocity (115-346 L g-1 h-1). The structured catalysts exhibited better performance than the corresponding powders, reaching values close to thermodynamic limits for both reactants conversion and H2/CO ratio, from 750 ºC, and no deactivation was observed in prolonged experiments (24-48 hours). This was related to both the high catalyst efficiency after being deposited with low loading on the cordierite and the intrinsic advantages of the monolithic reactor, like preventing from the kinetic control that operates in powdered samples under high WHSV or limiting the deactivation.}, organization = {The authors thank the financial support by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain/FEDER Program of the EU (Project MAT2017-87579-R), and the Junta de Andalucía (Groups FQM-110 and FQM-334).
