Gr. Bamwenda et al., THE INFLUENCE OF THE PREPARATION METHODS ON THE CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OFPLATINUM AND GOLD SUPPORTED ON TIO2 FOR CO OXIDATION, Catalysis letters, 44(1-2), 1997, pp. 83-87
The influence of the preparation methods on the catalytic activity for
CO oxidation was markedly large for Au-TiO2 and negligible for Pt-TiO
2 catalysts. Platinum and gold were deposited on TiO2 by deposition-pr
ecipitation (DP), photodeposition (FD) and impregnation (IMP). The DP
method gave the most active catalysts for both Pt and Au. Gold catalys
ts prepared by DP were active at temperatures below 273 K and showed a
much greater activity than Pt catalysts.
