The truth about Cats : The metal–oxide interface of a Pd‐Rh/CeO 2 catalyst was studied in the context of developing active, selective and durable solid catalytic materials for the production of hydrogen from renewables. The presence of a stable contact between finely dispersed transition‐metal clusters (Pd and Rh) on the nanoparticles of the CeO 2 support leads to a highly active and stable catalyst for the steam reforming of ethanol.
