Together we are strong : Immediately after high‐temperature reduction, ZnPd/ZnO catalysts are not notably CO 2 selective in the methanol steam reforming process. Under methanol steam reforming conditions, high CO 2 selectivity can only be achieved by the rather slow formation of ZnO patches on the surface of intermetallic ZnPd nanoparticles to create a highly synergistic interface.
