Abstract: | ![]() A number of anions and cations have been incorporated into TiO2 as support for gold catalysts and also into as-prepared Au/TiO2 catalysts at levels of 0.4 mol% and 2.5 mol% with respect to the support. The activities of the catalysts for CO oxidation reveal that the at the higher concentration level of the ions, in all cases, a decrease in activity compared with unmodified Au/TiO2. However, and more interestingly, addition of only 0.4 mol% of the ions to the support, prior to gold addition, in most cases resulted in activity enhancement whilst similar addition to Au/TiO2 resulted in decrease in activity. Attempts have been made to understand the origin of these effects. |
