Kinetic experiments for glycerol reforming over Pt and PtMo catalysts indicate the role of alloyed Mo on the reaction rate of glycerol and selectivity to C-C versus C-O bond cleavage.  Operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy experiments show the importance of the water gas shift reaction in the reaction mechanism.
