To improve the catalytic activities, the effects of the addition of tellurium into Pd/C were investigated to reveal that the combination of tellurium, palladium and conjugated systems produced during the dehydrogenation of cycloalkanes was important to the improvement of the activities.", pages = "663-668(6)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/rci/2008/00000034/F0020008/art00002" doi = "doi:10.1163/156856708786189267" }
