Fig. 2: Sn-based alloys for H2 synthesis with hexadecane as feedstock.
a, b Schematics depicting the generation of different products from hydrocarbons originating from the distinct atomic structures and the unique adsorption patterns on the surface of Ga (a) and Sn (b) based liquid alloys. c Efficiency and surface area of SnIn0.1034Cu0.0094 particles and bulk alloy for H2 production. Data are presented as mean values ± SD, and n = 2 in each group. d Materials comparison of Sn-based alloys for H2 production. Data are presented as mean values ± SD, and n = 2 in each group. e ICP-MS analysis of Sn, In and Cu ions in the liquid feedstock during the reaction. Data are presented as mean values ± SD, and n = 2 in each group. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
