It has been established that gold, when in nanoparticle (NP) form and in contact with reducible oxides, can promote oxidation reactions under mild conditions. Here, we report results from our exploration of the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide using catalysts where Au NPs were combined with thin titanium oxide films deposited on SBA-15 using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Both orders of deposition, with TiO2 added either before or after Au dispersion, were tested for two titania film thicknesses amounting to about half and full TiO2 monolayers. The resulting catalysts were characterized using various techniques, mainly electron microscopy and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, and the kinetics of the oxidation of CO with O2 were followed using infrared absorption spectroscopy. A synergy between the Au and TiO2 phases as it relates to the bonding and conversion of CO was identified, the tuning of which could be controlled by varying the synthetic parameters. The ALD of TiO2 films proved to be an effective way to maximize the Au-TiO2 interface sites, and with that help with the activation of molecular oxygen.
