Supported Rh catalysts have been developed for selective H2 production at low temperatures. Ethanol dehydration is favorable over either acidic or basic supports such as γ-Al2O3 and MgAl2O4, while ethanol dehydrogenation is more favorable over neutral supports. A series of CeO2-ZrO2 supports with various CeO2/ZrO2 ratios were prepared by a co-precipitation method and Rh was impregnated on the as-synthesized support to achieve a strong metal to support interaction (SMSI). 2%Rh/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 catalyst exhibited the highest H2 yield at 450oC among the various supported Rh catalysts evaluated in this study. This is mainly due to a favored reaction pathway via ethanol dehydrogenation to form the acetaldehyde intermediate, and both the strong interaction between Rh and Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 and the high oxygen storage capacity of Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 which favors oxidation of acetaldehyde decomposition products
