“…Consistent with the activity trend and H 2 -microcalorimetric result, the Pt 1 /Fe 2 O 3 -500 has a much larger KIE than Pt 1 /Fe 2 O 3 -600 (6.55 vs. 2.03, Supplementary Table 7), suggesting that H 2 activation is more difficult for the Pt 1 /Fe 2 O 3 -500. It is noted that the KIE value obtained on the Pt 1 /Fe 2 O 3 -600 catalyst is comparable to those reported on noble metal NP catalysts 46,47 , suggesting that the surface reaction, rather than the hydrogen dissociation, is the RDS. In contrast, the similar large KIE to the Pt 1 /Fe 2 O 3 -500 was reported for Ag/Al 2 O 3 NPs as well as Pd 1 /TiO 2 SAC, both of which featured poor capability for hydrogen activation 19,48 .…”
