Since the discovery of catalysis by Au nanoparticles (NPs), unique catalytic features of Au
have appeared that are greatly different from those of Pd and Pt. In this Review, we aimed to …

Solvent molecules interact with reactive species and alter the rates and selectivities of
catalytic reactions by orders of magnitude. Specifically, solvent molecules can modify the …

Bulk gold is chemically inert and is generally regarded as a poor catalyst. However, when
gold is in very small particles with diameters below 10 nm and is deposited on metal oxides …

Gold in bulk is chemically inert and has often been regarded to be poorly active as a
catalyst. However, when gold is small enough—with particle diameters below 10 nm—it …

Gold has traditionally been regarded as inactive as a catalytic metal. However, the advent of
nanoparticulate gold on high surface area oxide supports has demonstrated its high catalytic …

Numerous experimental and theoretical studies are currently being performed which are
aimed at understanding why gold starts to catalyse these reactions when its dimensions go …

Of the many important reactions that are known to be catalysed by gold particles supported
on transition metal oxides, the oxidation of carbon monoxide is of outstanding significance …

CO oxidation has attracted great attention in the automobile exhaust treatment and fuel cell
industrial process, with Pt as one of the most promising catalysts. The efficiency of the …

Supported Au catalysts are very active for low temperature CO oxidation. However, the
reported activity from different laboratories for apparently similar catalysts can differ quite …

In this work, we explore the catalytic application of atomically monodisperse, thiolate-
protected Au25 (SR) 18 (where R= CH2CH2Ph) nanoclusters supported on oxides for CO …
