Abstract: Gold catalysts readily catalyze CO oxidation at subambient temperature, wherein moisture can influence the activity, typically with a volcano-shaped dependence. In this study, we examine moisture-enhanced CO oxidation over Au/BN. The room-temperature CO oxidation activity of Au/BN increases quickly with increasing moisture content up to 100% relative humidity (RH). In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and in situ UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis-DRS) demonstrate that mainly metallic gold is present on the h-BN support. Surface intermediates are found when moisture is fed together with CO and O2, attributable to *CO(H2O)n and *OOH, respectively. These surface intermediates are reactive when counter-reactant is purged. Injection of isotope-labeled H218O demonstrates that OH from H2O takes part in the process of CO2 formation. The results of this study provide direct evidence showing moisture-enhanced CO adsorption, moisture-enhanced O2 adsorption, and t...

Catalysis of Gold Nanoparticles Deposited on Metal Oxides
TL;DR: The catalytic performance of Au nanoparticles is defined by three major factors: contact structure, support selection, and particle size, the first being the most important because the perimeter interfaces around Au particles act as the site for reaction as discussed by the authors.
