HNO3,RuOxstronglyinteractedwiththesurfacefunctionalgroupoftheactivecarbon,andthereductionofRuOxtoRu0particleswasdif cultandreducedatmuchhightemperature[27].ThedecreaseofthereductiontemperatureofRuOxafterthedopingofpotassiumsaltsindicatedthatpotassiumsaltsalsohadthecon-tactwithRuOx,thuscausedaweakerinteractionofRuOxwithsup-portandreducedthereductiontemperatureofRuOx.Evinetal.foundsimilarphenomenonasours,inwhichthereductiontemper-atureofPtoverPt/CeO2catalystsbecamelowerandwiderafterdopingwithalkali(Li,Na,K,Rb,Cs)[28].Therefore,accordingtotheTMEandH2-TPRresults,thedopingofpotassiumsaltontheRu/ACcatalystcausedanincreaseoftheRunanoparticlesize,andthepresenceofpotassiumsaltdecreasedtheinteractionoftheRuOxandthesurfacefunctionalgroupofactivecarbon,whichresultedinalowerreductiontemperatureoftheoxidizedRunanoparticles.Potassiumionsstabilizehighdispersed,oxidizedRuspeciesontheactivatedcarbonsurface,maybeformedanewRu-O-Kactivatedsite.Suchspecies(Na+,K+)havebeenreportedtocatalyzetheWGSreactiononPt/SiO2catalysts[18].
