Au/Mo2N as a new catalyst formulation for the hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene in both liquid and gas phases

The effect of metal deposition order on the synergistic activity of Au–Cu and Au–Ce metal oxide catalysts for CO oxidation

“…A recent theoretical study [69] confirmed the high propensity of CO to be oxidized on Cu 2 O (100) plane by rapidly consuming surface oxygen, which is in agreement with the cause for synergistic activity proposed in the present study (Cycle B, Eqs. [15][16][17][18].…”

“…However, the original breakthrough in the catalysis by gold should be linked with Haruta (1987), who demonstrated that gold can be an excellent catalyst when supported on metal oxides in a dispersed state [4]. The recent progress in heterogeneous catalysis resulted in remarkable investigations that showed the high activity of gold nanoparticles in the conversion of alcohols to synthetic hydrocarbons [5,6], selective oxidation of propene [7,8], synthesis of hydrogen peroxide [9,10], water gas shift reaction [11,12], hydrogenation of alkenes [13,14], isomerization [15,16], and hydrodechlorination [17,18]. The desired Cu, Ce, and Au contents in the catalysts were 0.32, 0.71, and 1 wt.…”

Controlled nitridation of tantalum (oxy)nitride nanoparticles towards optimized metal-support interactions with gold nanocatalysts

“…8 Thus, the synergy of the above two functions varies the electronic features and catalytic performance of metal nitrides. 9,10 As evidence in catalytic nitroarene hydrogenation, 11,12 the metal-support interactions with gold are promoted by Mo 2 N supports. 9,10 As evidence in catalytic nitroarene hydrogenation, 11,12 the metal-support interactions with gold are promoted by Mo 2 N supports.…”

Direct Au-Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysed cross-condensation of ethanol with isopropanol into pentanol-2

“…The recent progress in heterogeneous catalysis resulted in remarkable investigations that showed the high catalytic activity of gold nanocomposites in the water-gas shift reaction [30,31], hydrogenation [32,33], isomerization [34,35], hydrodechlorination [36,37] and other reactions [38]. It was reported in references [39,40] that the modification of gold with a small amount of transition metals might result in synergistic interactions between the Au and M phases that markedly enhance the catalytic performance of polymetallic Au-M catalysts.…”
