Effects of the addition of CeO2 on the steam reforming of ethanol using novel carbon-Al2O3 and carbon-ZrO2 composite-supported Co catalysts

For the ideal reaction routes in steam reforming of ethanol catalyzed by Co/CeO2–ZrO2, as Al2O3 was used instead of ZrO2, the effect of CeO2 did not appear, suggesting that the configuration of CeO2 and cobalt species on ZrO2 would be important.

Ceria-promoted Co@NC catalyst for biofuel upgrade: synergy between ceria and cobalt species

Ceria is introduced to promote the activity of Co@NC. HDO of vanillin can be catalyzed by Co/Ce@NC either using H2 or ethanol as the H donor.
