“…4 For Fischer-Tropsch catalysis, [5][6][7] it has been known for a long time that very small amounts of Ru, used as a promotor, help to increase the reducibility of Co species. 5,8 Recently, there has been an increasing interest in Co-Ru bimetallic catalysts for various reactions such as the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol, 9 the decomposition of the Li 2 CO 3 discharge product in Li-CO 2 batteries, 10 the hydrolysis of aminoborane, [11][12][13] the conversion of CO 2 to methane 14 or the oxygen [15][16][17] and hydrogen 12,13,[16][17][18][19][20] evolution reactions. Bimetallic compounds are often generated through high temperature pyrolysis under neutral atmospheres and the active phase is stabilized thanks to interactions with a carbonaceous support such as carbon quantum dots, carbon nanotubes or graphene.…”
