Au(111) does not bind CO and O₂ well. The deposition of small nanoparticles of MgO, CeO₂, and TiO₂ on Au(111) produces excellent catalysts for CO oxidation at room temperature. In an inverse oxide/metal configuration there is a strong enhancement of the oxide–metal interactions, and the inverse catalysts are more active than conventional Au/MgO(001), Au/CeO₂(111), and Au/TiO₂(110) catalysts. An identical trend was seen after comparing the CO oxidation activity of TiO2/Au and Au/TiO₂ powder catalysts. In the model systems, the activity increased following the sequence: MgO/Au(111) < CeO₂/Au(111) < TiO₂/Au(111). Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) was used to elucidate the role of the titania–gold interface in inverse TiO₂/Au(111) model catalysts during CO oxidation. Stable surface intermediates such as CO(ads), CO₃^2–(ads), and OH(ads) were identified under reaction conditions. CO₃^2–(ads) and OH(ads) behaved as spectators. The concentration of CO(ad) initially increased and then decreased with increasing TiO₂ coverage, demonstrating a clear role of the Ti–Au interface and the size of the TiO₂ nanostructures in the catalytic process. Overall, our results show an enhancement in the strength of the oxide–metal interactions when working with inverse oxide/metal configurations, a phenomenon that can be utilized for the design of efficient catalysts useful for green and sustainable chemistry.
