N2 - Catalysis by supported gold nanoparticles has been a hot topic recently. They are useful for ablating environmental pollutants, cleaning H2 streams for fuel cell applications, and producing chemicals via green approaches. The majority of papers are using Au/TiO2 as the catalyst, but few attempts have been made to further promote the most popular Au/TiO2. We developed a series of Au/MxOy/TiO2-type catalysts, and found that some of these catalysts showed excellent thermal stability and activities in CO oxidation and water-gas shift, important reactions for cleaning H2 streams for fuel-cell applications. Activity tests, stability tests, XRD, ICP-OES, BET, TEM, and other experiments were carried out.
