“…Regardless of the used metal's composition, its distribution on the catalyst' surface increases the availability of the active sites and, consequently, the reaction rate [15]. Supports such as Al 2 O 3 , CeO 2 , TiO 2 , graphene and activated carbon [13,18,22,23], usually being carbonbased materials, have been reported as the most suitable supports for the reaction [15,[24][25][26][27] due to their different hydrophilicities in liquid phase reactions in comparison to the classical mineral oxides.…”
