Abstract By simply changing the oxide support, the selectivity of a metal–oxide catalysts can be tuned. For the CO 2 hydrogenation over PtCo bimetallic catalysts supported on different reducible oxides (CeO 2 , ZrO 2 , and TiO 2 ), replacing a TiO 2 support by CeO 2 or ZrO 2 selectively strengthens the binding of C,O‐bound and O‐bound species at the PtCo–oxide interface, leading to a different product selectivity. These results reveal mechanistic insights into how the catalytic performance of metal–oxide catalysts can be fine‐tuned.
