“…Various catalysts with excellent catalytic performance have been developed [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]. These include noble metal based catalysts such as Pt, Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt and Au supported on alumina; combinations of Pt with Ir, Ru, Co, Cu, Sn, Au and Ni supported on carbon, Rh(0) nano-clusters [52][53][54][55][56][57]; and also non-noble metal based catalysts such as Ni and Co on alumina, and Ni and Co nano-particles, Cu/Cu2O, Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) stabilized Ni, NiSiO2 and Fe-Ni alloys [58][59][60][61][62][63]. Unfortunately, most of the aforementioned catalysts, except for the magnetic Fe-Ni alloy catalyst, are difficult to use repeatedly in solution because they are in a powdery form or are supported weakly on a substrate.…”
