Influence of La incorporation on the catalytic activity of Ru/ETS-10 catalysts for hydrogen production

- The incorporation of La significantly improved the catalytic activity of Ru/ETS-10 catalysts.
- Lanthanum was exchanged in the structure of ETS-10 supports.
- Ru nanoparticles were distributed over the support.
- The turnover frequencies increased when the Ru particle size increased.
- This behavior could be related to the La participation in the reaction mechanism.
