XRD pattern showed the presence of Cu(+) species in the activated Cu: Al nano catalyst. Although Cu(+) is catalytically inactive in glycerol hydrogenolysis reaction, the presence of Cu(+) helps to stabilize the particle size in a narrow range of 7-11 nm by inhibiting the sintering of copper particles under reaction conditions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.907</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
