Abstract

²⁷Al MAS and 3QMAS NMR have been used to study Al ₂O₃/TiO₂ catalyst supports synthesized via excess-solution impregnation and surface solgel methods. Temperature and alumina loading level strongly affect chemical states of aluminum oxide species observed. Surface cations, Al(H2O)63, a surface alumina monolayer, and disordered transitional aluminas (multilayers) and α-alumina, coexist on the TiO₂ surface. Chemical shift and quadrupole coupling constants are reported for the major species identified in 3QMAS experiments. Gold particle catalysts prepared from supports calcined at 500 °C have optimum catalytic activity in CO oxidation, and smallest gold particle size for supports, which show maximum monolayer type octahedral alumina on the titania surface.
