Methanol oxidation as probe reaction for active sites in Au/ZnO and Au/TiO2 catalysts

The catalytic activity was found to be correlated with the number of Au atoms at the perimeter of the Au nanoparticles suggesting that oxygen activation occurs at their perimeter and the oxide provides methoxy species reacting at the interface. [Display omitted] ► Methanol oxidation was investigated...
