Abstract. We use a colloidal deposition method to prepare gold nanoparticles with similar size distributions centered at 3 nm over various anatase titania supports. All UV100, PC500 and AK350 titanias are loaded with similar amount of gold (1.0 + 0.2 wt.%) which is in similar electronic and optical environments, as shown by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–vis. This allows u…
Abstract. Gold catalysts supported on zinc oxide with Au loadings of 1, 2, and 3 wt% were prepared by the colloidal deposition method and applied in methanol synthesis in CO2-free (CO + H2) and in CO2-containing (CO + CO2 + H2) synthesis gas. The characterization by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction before and after the catalytic high-pressure tests demonstrated a very …
