Title: Thermally Activated Formation of Reactive Lattice Oxygen in Titania on Nanoporous Gold

Abstract

Nanoporous gold modified by atomic layer deposition of titania was employed as a model, inverse supported precious metal catalyst to explore the oxidative reactivity of Au/TiO₂ catalysts. The catalyst material is active for oxidation of CO using O from the titania lattice, even at low temperatures. The reactive lattice oxygen available for oxidative reactions was formed by thermal activation, with the total oxidative reactivity of the material showing a strong dependence on the annealing temperature prior to CO exposure. Finally, reduction of the titania via CO oxidation can be reversed under relatively mild conditions by exposure to O₂, presenting a viable mechanism for CO oxidation in steady state catalytic conditions.

Nanoporous Gold: Understanding the Origin of the Reactivity of a 21st Century Catalyst Made by Pre-Columbian Technology

Journal Article Biener, Juergen ; Biener, Monika M. ; Madix, Robert J. ; ... - ACS Catalysis

Nanoporous gold (np-Au), a three-dimensional nanoporous bulk material, is made by selective corrosion of Ag from Ag–Au alloys, a technique already applied by the pre-Columbian cultures of South America. Nanoporous gold is actually a Au-rich Ag–Au alloy which, specifically the Ag_0.03Au_0.97 composition, combines high reactivity and selectivity for a wide variety of oxidation reactions, from simple CO oxidation to complex oxygen-assisted coupling reactions. Its catalytic reactivity is surprising because np-Au is a nonsupported Au catalyst with relatively large feature sizes on the order of tens of nanometers, thus breaking the generally accepted notion that gold must be in the formmore »« less

Active Gold-Ceria and Gold-Ceria/titania Catalysts for CO Oxidation. From Single-Crystal Model Catalysts to Powder Catalysts

Journal Article Rodriguez, Jose A. ; Si, Rui ; Evans, Jaime ; ... - Catalysis Today

We studied CO oxidation on model and powder catalysts of Au-CeO₂ and Au-CeO_x/TiO₂. Phenomena observed in Au-CeO₂(1 1 1) and Au-CeO₂/TiO₂(1 1 0) provided useful concepts for designing and preparing highly active and stable Au-CeO_x/TiO₂ powder catalysts for CO oxidation. Small particles of Au dispersed on CeO₂(1 1 1) displayed high catalytic activity, making Au-CeO₂(1 1 1) a better CO oxidation catalyst than Au-TiO₂(1 1 0) or Au-MgO(1 0 0). An excellent support for gold was found after depositing nanoparticles of ceria on TiO₂(1 1 0). The CeO_x nanoparticles act as nucleation centers for gold, improving dispersion of the supportedmore »« less

CO oxidation on nanoporous gold: A combined TPD and XPS study of active catalysts

Journal Article Röhe, Sarah ; Frank, Kristian ; Schaefer, Andreas ; ... - Surface Science

Disks of nanoporous gold (np-Au), produced by leaching of silver from AgAu alloy and prepared as active catalysts for CO oxidation in a continuous-flow reactor, were investigated in detail by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption spectroscopy in ultra-high vacuum. Np-Au exhibits several oxygen species on and in the surface: Chemisorbed oxygen (O_act), probably generated at residual silver sites at the surface, is readily available after np-Au preparation and consumed by CO oxidation. It can be replenished on activated np-Au by exposure to O₂. In addition, strongly bound oxygen, probably at subsurface sites, is present as a major species andmore »« less

Preparation of supported gold catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation via ``size-controlled`` gold colloids

Journal Article Grunwaldt, J D ; Kiener, C ; Woegerbauer, C ; ... - Journal of Catalysis

Catalytically active gold model catalysts have been designed via size-controlled gold colloids of 2-nm mean particle size. They were prepared by reduction of chloroauric acid with tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride in an alkaline solution, followed by adsorption of gold colloids on TiO{sub 2} and ZrO{sub 2} at a pH lower than the isoelectric point of the metal oxides. Investigation of the size of the gold particles in solution by UV-vis spectrophotometry in combination with HRTEM indicated that the gold colloids are rather stable in alkaline solution, during pH-change and purification with dialysis. Aging of the solutions showed that the particle size slowlymore »« less

ALD Functionalized Nanoporous Gold: Thermal Stability, Mechanical Properties, and Catalytic Activity

Journal Article Biener, M M ; Biener, J ; Wichmann, A ; ... - Nanoletters

Nanoporous metals have many technologically promising applications but their tendency to coarsen limits their long-term stability and excludes high temperature applications. Here, we demonstrate that atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be used to stabilize and functionalize nanoporous metals. Specifically, we studied the effect of nanometer-thick alumina and titania ALD films on thermal stability, mechanical properties, and catalytic activity of nanoporous gold (np-Au). Our results demonstrate that even only one-nm-thick oxide films can stabilize the nanoscale morphology of np-Au up to 1000 C, while simultaneously making the material stronger and stiffer. The catalytic activity of np-Au can be drastically increased bymore »« less
