In this review, we discuss selected examples from recent literature on the role of the support
on directing the nanostructures of Au-based monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles. The …

The metal–support interaction (MSI) plays an essential role in the catalysis by gold. We
summarized the support effect on the catalysis by gold in this review. According to the …

Gold can be deposited as nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters of 2–5 nm and clusters with
diameters less than 2 nm on a variety of materials such as oxides, carbides, and sulfides of …

Gold nanoparticles in metallic or plasmonic state have been widely used to catalyze
homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. However, the catalytic behavior of gold …

Many natural oxidations are relevant to the origin and running of life but usually proceeded
under mild conditions using molecular oxygen (O2) in the air as the sole oxidant and …

Water-soluble fluorescent copper, silver and gold nanoclusters with quantum yields of 2.2,
6.8 and 5.3%, respectively, are prepared by a robust photoreduction of their inorganic …

Reducing the Au particle size and increasing the number of defective Ti 4+ species have
been considered effective strategies to boost the catalytic performance of Au–Ti bifunctional …

When gold is deposited as nanoparticles (NPs) with mean diameters of 2–5 nm or clusters
with mean diameters below 2 nm onto a variety of supports such as metal oxides, carbons …

With increasing emphasis placed on cleaner chemical synthesis, energy efficiency and
waste minimisation, the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals is undergoing a …

Various Au/SiO2 catalysts have been prepared by the deposition–precipitation method
followed by calcination in air or reduction in H2. The structures of supported Au …
