Abstract

Ru promoted the reaction by reacting with surface Pt-hydride species to liberate free Pt active sites while adding Sn enhances the electronic interactions. Moreover, acid functionalized CNT was identified as the superior support due to its hydrophilic surfaces, conical stacking structures, and tubular structure with mesoporous open-ended morphology.
