Highly active catalysts of iron-based materials with Au nanoparticles for soot oxidation

Abstract

Gold nanoparticles supported on transition metal oxide catalysts have been prepared by deposition-precipitation. Their catalytic activity with or without Au doped has been tested for soot oxidation. Au improves the catalytic activity of transition metal oxide for the oxidation of soot particles. Under the catalysis of Au/Co3O4, the initial oxidation temperature of soot is 354 ℃.
