“…The ability of base metals, such as Ni [5,7,10,11], Cu [3,7], Al [12], Zn [13], and Co [14][15][16][17], and noble metals, such as Pt [18], Rh [19][20][21][22], Pd [23], Ru [24], and Ir [25], supported on various metal oxides to catalyze the SRE has been widely investigated. Ethanol activation pathways depend on the metal nature, and can be generally divided in two groups: the less-oxophilic metals (Pd and Pt) in which α-C-H activation takes place, and the more-oxophilic metals (Co, Ni, Rh, Ru) that promote activation via O-H.…”
