a, b Effects of CO (a) and CO2 (b) on PE hydrogenolysis over RuPt/C catalyst. Reaction conditions: 0.5 bar H2, 300 °C, 340 mg PE, 20 mg catalyst, 8 h. c The time-dependence of DRIFTS spectra for CO adsorption (left) and desorption (right) over RuPt/C. d Comparison of DRIFTS spectra of Ru/C and Pt/C after CO adsorption. e XPS spectra of Ru 3p for the RuPt/C after hydrogenolysis using H2 and FA as the hydrogen donors, respectively. f XPS spectra of Ru 3p for the RuPt/C after hydrogenolysis in H2/CO and H2/CO2 atmospheres, respectively. Reaction conditions: 300 °C, 340 mg C36, 20 mg catalyst, 8 h. The error bars represent the standard deviations of three independent measurements.
