As aref\u00ader\u00adence, the TOR for a Cu based cat\u00ada\u00adlyst at these con\u00addi\u00adtions was about 2&nbsp;s<sup>-1<\/sup>. Wes\u00adt\u00adud\u00adied cat\u00ada\u00adlysts based on Pd and Pt. For Pt on alu\u00admi\u00adna, par\u00adti\u00adcle size (2\u201315 nm) caused\u00adno change in the TOR, which was about 1&nbsp;s<sup>-1<\/sup> for Pt on CeO<sub>2<\/sub>, TiO<sub>2<\/sub>, and ZrO<sub>2<\/sub> supports,implying that these sup\u00adports do not influ\u00adence the reac\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty.<\/p>\n<p>How\u00adev\u00ader, cat\u00ada\u00adlysts sup\u00adport\u00ade\u00addon sil\u00adi\u00adca and alu\u00admi\u00adna showed a TOR about 10 times low\u00ader than those on these three\u00adsup\u00adports. The addi\u00adtion of, for exam\u00adple, Mo, Fe, and Zn to Pd and Pt cat\u00ada\u00adlysts on alu\u00admi\u00adnasig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant\u00adly increased the rate (up to a fac\u00adtor of 100), but only up to the rate on the non\u00adin\u00adter\u00adact\u00ading\u00adsup\u00adports. The rates of Pd and Pt cat\u00ada\u00adlysts sup\u00adport\u00aded on the non-inter\u00adact\u00ading\u00adsup\u00adports CeO<sub>2<\/sub>, TiO<sub>2<\/sub>, and ZrO<sub>2<\/sub> could not be fur\u00adther increased by any of these additives.For a series of Pd-Zn cat\u00ada\u00adlysts rang\u00ading from 2 to 19 wt% Zn on Al<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>, it was observed byEX\u00adAFS and DRIFTS of CO that Pd alloyed with Zn, and that the alloy exhib\u00adit\u00aded anin\u00adcreased TOR of up to 20 times as com\u00adpared to Pd on Al<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>. The pres\u00adence of zin\u00adca\u00adlu\u00admi\u00adnate was also observed. The addi\u00adtion of 2 wt% Zn to Pd cat\u00ada\u00adlysts sup\u00adport\u00aded onTiO<sub>2<\/sub>, CeO<sub>2<\/sub> and ZrO<sub>2<\/sub> did not enhance the WGS rate, although alloy\u00ading was ver\u00adi\u00adfied byEX\u00adAFS and DRIFTS of CO. The TORs of Pd on these three sup\u00adports were as high as theTOR on the best PdZn on alu\u00admi\u00adna. One expla\u00adna\u00adtion of the results is that Zn forms ana\u00adlu\u00admi\u00adnate and pre\u00advents a dele\u00adte\u00adri\u00adous inter\u00adac\u00adtion between Pd and alu\u00admi\u00adna. Zinc is thus\u00adnot a true pro\u00admot\u00ader for WGS, although it decreased the unde\u00adsir\u00adable metha\u00adna\u00adtion reac\u00adtion\u00adto below detec\u00adtion lim\u00adits.
