Abstract: Addition of Sn to rapidly quenched skeletal Ni-Mo remarkably improved the H2 production rate and selectivity in aqueous-phase reforming (APR) of ethylene glycol. The H2 selectivity reached 98.7% at high conversion of ethylene glycol while the formation of alkanes was substantially suppressed.
