The effect of cobalt on reduction characteristics of ceria was examined under ethanol steam reforming condition utilizing in-situ x-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy (XANES) and ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). Results indicated that ceria support was less reduced in the presence of cobalt compared to the bare support.
