Water–Gas Shift over Pt Nanoparticles Dispersed on CeO₂ and Gadolinium-Doped Ceria (GDC) Supports with Specific Nano-Configurations by Athanasios Androulakis, Ersi Nikolaraki, Catherine Drosou, Kalliopi Maria Papazisi, Stella Balomenou, Dimitrios Tsiplakides, Konstantinos G. Froudas, Pantelis N. Trikalitis, Dimitrios P. Gournis, Paraskevi Panagiotopoulou, Ioannis V. Yentekakis

“…The water–gas shift (WGS) reaction is one of the most significant reactions in hydrogen technology since it can be used directly to produce hydrogen from the reaction of CO and water; it is also a side reaction taking place in the hydrocarbon reforming processes, determining their selectivity towards H₂ production. The development of highly active WGS catalysts, especially at temperatures below ~450 °C, where the reaction is thermodynamically favored but kinetically limited, remains a challenge. …”
