1. Overall, the results indicate that the best catalyst for ethanol production are PtSn2 /Cp-97 and PtSn/Cp-97, since it shows high selectivity at relatively low temperatures. 2. The PtSn0.5 and PtSn over Cp-97 catalyst shows a significantly lower activation energy than PtSn2 /Cp-97. 3. Possible explanation for the different selectivity at higher temperature is the low melting point of Sn.
