Preparation of supported gold catalysts by liquid-phase grafting of gold acethylacetonate for low-temperature oxidation of CO and of H-2
Gold nanoparticles can be deposited on several metal oxides by liquid phase grafting (LG) of dimethyl gold acetylacetonate. They exhibit high catalytic activities for the oxidation of CO and of H-2 at low temperatures, below and above 273 K, respectively.
