“…On the other hand, there are disagreements on the active sites for the CO insertion process. Watson and Somorjai (18,19) proposed that CO insertion to form C 2+ -oxygenates occurs on the Rh + sites, whereas Katzer et al (20) reported from an XPS study that there was no correlation between the yields of C 2 -oxygenates and the number of Rh + sites on the catalyst. In recent years, most of the reports agreed that single Rh atom sites are active for CO insertion, whether it is the Rh 0 or the Rh + entity (21)(22)(23).…”
