A multiscale theoretical investigation of carbon monoxide oxidation on gold nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications
A multi-scale theoretical investigation of the CO oxidation on Au nanostructures supported on various oxides is proposed. Since Haruta s 1987 discovery of the exceptional activity of gold (Au) nanoparticles (2-5nm in diameter), many groups have verified this exceptional activity towards many reactions when supported on certain oxides. For example, the Au/TiO2 system exhibits unprecedented activity in low temperature CO oxidation via O2.
