Basic metal carbonate supported gold nanoparticles: enhanced performance in aerobic alcohol oxidation?

Green Chemistry Pub Date: 2009-01-20 DOI: 10.1039/B821586C

Abstract

Gold nanoparticles supported by basic hydrozincite or bismuth carbonate are excellent catalysts for liquid-phase aerobic alcohol oxidation: the performance of a series of metal (Zn, Bi, Ce, La, Zr) carbonate supported gold catalysts depends strongly on the basicity of the support material.
