Conductance measurement: The conductance of the
catalysts was determined by measuring the specific resistance
of sample disc with the two-electrode DC method. The sample
was compacted into a disc (nearly 2 mm thick and 13 mm
diameter) with two electrodes; each was made by spot-welding
to silver leads (0.1 mm diameter) with conductive silver paste.
The final disc was further heated at 873 K for 1 h, and the
conduction of the samples was measured at different temper-
atures in Ar to determine the activation energy of conduction.
Then the samples were kept at 423 K, and the conduction in
different atmospheres was measured by switching the gas flow
between Ar and H2.

into the system. Hydrogen was introduced into the reactor at
room temperature to a pressure of 1.0 MPa. The reactor was
then heated to 393 K and kept at this temperature for 2 h. After
the reaction, the reactor was cooled to room temperature
naturally, and the catalyst was filtered. The resulting solution
was analyzed by HPLC. The Agilent HPLC 2016 was equipped
with a C18 column and an UV detector (254 nm). The eluent
was methanol/0.02 M ammonium acetate solution (65/35).
