Gold nanoparticles supported on manganese oxides for low-temperature CO oxida…

Abstract. A series of gold catalysts deposited on various single-phase manganese oxides (MnOx, including MnO2, Mn2O3 and Mn3O4) were studied in relation to their performance in the low-temperature oxidation of CO. Gold was deposited onto the MnOx support by deposition–precipitation with urea (DP urea). The activity of the Au/MnOx catalysts for CO oxidation strongly depends on the nature o…
