“…Co 3 O 4 (red) shows a weak peak at 550°C assigned to reduction of CoO clusters to Co 0 [21,27,28], with e/Co = 0.014, corresponding to about 1% of analytical cobalt. The weak peak at 212°C, according to other authors [28,29], is assigned to the reduction of trace of chemisorbed oxygen. Similarly, TPR profile of Co/MgO(600)(red) after ethanol steam reforming (not reported), shows a main peak at 515°C assigned to CoO clusters reduction, with e/Co = 0.034 corresponding to about 2% of analytical cobalt.…”
