Size-selected gold clusters on porous titania as the most "gold-efficient" heterogeneous catalysts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research on homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis is indeed convergent and finds subnanometric particles to be at the heart of catalytically active species. Here, monodisperse gold clusters are deposited from the gas phase onto porous titania generating well-defined model systems and the resulting composite materials exhibit a sharp size-dependency on the number of gold atoms per cluster and exceptionally high-turnovers toward the bromination of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene are observed. This indicates that the deliberate generation of active centres is of utmost importance for the creation of the most "gold-efficient" catalysts.

Onset of catalytic activity of gold clusters on titania with the appearance of nonmetallic properties
Gold clusters ranging in diameter from 1 to 6 nanometers have been prepared on single crystalline surfaces of titania in ultrahigh vacuum to investigate the unusual size dependence of the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide. Scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and elevated pressure reaction kinetics measurements show that the structure sensitivity of this rea...
متن کاملAu−Pd Nanoparticles Dispersed on Composite Titania/Graphene Oxide-Supports as a Highly Active Oxidation Catalyst
The control over both the dispersion and the particle size distribution of supported precious metal nanoparticles used in heterogeneous catalysts is of paramount importance. Here, we demonstrate the successful formation of highly accessible and well dispersed gold−palladium nanoparticles, stabilized with two-dimensional graphene oxide, that itself is dispersed by intercalated titania particles ...
متن کاملCO oxidation on Aun/TiO2 catalysts produced by size-selected cluster deposition.
Planar model catalysts were prepared by deposition of size-selected gold clusters containing up to seven atoms on rutile TiO2 (110). Molecular oxygen is observed to bind inefficiently to the surface, probably at oxygen vacancies, and some oxygen also appears to bind to the gold clusters. Stable CO binding is observed atop gold for catalysts prepared by Au and Au2 deposition, but not for larger ...
