TLDR
In contrast to methanol on the clean surface for which the dissociated methoxy and hydrogen recombined to desorb as methanols, all the higher alcohols reacted further with the surface, dehydrogenating to yield the corresponding aldehyde or ketone in the gas phase.About:

Steam reforming and dehydrogenation of methanol: Difference in the catalytic functions of copper and group VIII metals
N. Takezawa,Nobuhiro Iwasa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was suggested that the difference in the catalytic performances of copper and Group VIII metals was attributed to the reactivity of HCHO species formed in the course of the reactions.

Organic chemistry on solid surfaces
Zhen Ma,Francisco Zaera +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical reactions of organic molecules and fragments on solid surfaces, mainly on single crystals of metals but also on crystals of metal oxides, carbides, nitrides, phosphides, sulfides and semiconductors as well as on more complex models such as bimetallics, alloys, and supported particles, are reviewed.

Bond activation sequence observed in the chemisorption and surface reaction of ethanol on Ni(111)
TL;DR: The mechanism of ethanol decomposition on the Ni(111) surface has been investigated between 155 and 500 K as mentioned in this paper, and the sequence of bond scission steps which occur as ethanol undergoes dissociative reactions on this surface was deduced using deuterium and 13 C isotopic labels.

Thermal desorption of gases
TL;DR: In this paper, the activation energy, rate constant and order of reaction from flash-filament desorption experiments were examined, and two heating schedules were considered: a linear variation of sample temperature with time (T = T 0+st), and a reciprocal temperature variation (1 T = 1 T 0 −αt).
