XANES characterization of Pt and PtMo catalysts, show large differences in the surface species during conversion of glycerol in liquid water, and suggesting strong differences in the catalytic surface when Pt and Mo form an alloy; and also suggest that water-gas shift is occurring on the catalyst surface
