Addition of Re to Ir/TiO2 and Rh/TiO2 drastically enhanced activity and selectivity of aqueous ethanol and ethylene glycol reforming  by preventing Ir and Rh sintering.  In 10 vol% ethanol solution, selectivity for AcOH increased to 70% in carbon base due to excellent hydration ability of dispersed Re oxide overlayers.
