“…The supports not only promote the interaction between the metal catalysts and the supports but also enhance the dispersion of the metal on the support surface [63,66,69]. Both acidic and basic materials were employed as supports [69][70][71][72][73], and mixed oxides were also used to improve the properties of the catalysts [28,55,56,59,62,63,74,75]. In the case of the promoters, different groups of metals, including alkaline earth metals (Ca, Mg, Sr, Ba), transition metals (La, Ce, Co, Zr, Cu), and noble metals (Rh, Pt, Pd, Au), have been applied to boost the catalytic activity [29,42,54,56,67,[76][77][78][79][80].…”
