Abstract

Hydrothermally stable ZnAl₂O₄ nanocrystals with controlled surfaces including Zn-rich and Al-rich structures are synthesized by a facile method. The Zn-rich surfaces are utilized to design long-lasting PdZn/ZnAl₂O₄ catalysts evaluated in the aqueous phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol for 10 consecutive cycles showing high activity and selectivity.
