Boosting the catalysis of gold by O2 activation at Au-SiO2 interface
Abstract
The development of sintering resistant supported Au catalysts with high activity still remains a challenge. Here the authors construct a Au-SiO2 interface by depositing SiO2 thin layer onto Au/TiO2 catalyst which shows very high activity in CO oxidation even after calcination at 800 °C.
