“…Bimetallic AuPd and AuPt catalysts have attracted much interest because of their enhanced performance compared to monometallic counterparts ( [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and references therein), especially in hydrogenation [29], hydrodeoxygenation [20,26], hydrodesulfurisation [27,28], oxidation [21][22][23], and Catalysts 2017, 7, 233 6 of 10 other reactions (for review, see [19,24,25]). For example, the addition of gold to the bifunctional Pt/CsPW catalyst (CsPW = Cs 2.5 H 0.5 PW 12 O 40 ) for the hydrodeoxygenation of 3-pentanone has been found to increase catalyst activity and catalyst stability to deactivation, whereas the Au itself was inert in this reaction [26].…”
