Effect of Ag-Doping on the Catalytic Activity of Polymer-Stabilized Au Clusters in Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohol

A set of nearly monodisperse Au−Ag alloy clusters (size range 1.6−2.2 nm) with various Ag content (5−30%) was prepared by the co-reduction method in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). The catalytic activities of the Au−Ag:PVP clusters were investigated for aerobic oxidation of p-hydr...

Zusammenfassung:A set of nearly monodisperse Au−Ag alloy clusters (size range 1.6−2.2 nm) with various Ag content (5−30%) was prepared by the co-reduction method in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). The catalytic activities of the Au−Ag:PVP clusters were investigated for aerobic oxidation of p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol as a model reaction to understand the effect of Ag on the catalytic activity of Au clusters. It was found that the rate constants per unit surface area for Au−Ag:PVP clusters with small Ag content (
