This paper demonstrates that dual-active sites of Pt single-atoms and frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) on porous nanorods of CeO₂ enable efficient, additive-free H₂ generation with low CO (0.027%) through aqueous-phase reforming of methanol (APRM) at 120 °C. Pt single-atoms and Lewis acidic sites cooperatively activate methanol, while spontaneous water dissociation on FLPs improves CO reforming, boosting H₂ production and suppressing CO generation. This offers a promising path for flexible hydrogen utilization.
