Abstract

AbstractGold nanoparticles (Au NPs) of different sizes were supported on fibrous silica nanospheres (KCC‐1) by various methods. The size and the location of the Au NPs on the support were found to depend on the preparation method. The KCC‐1‐supported Au NPs were thoroughly characterized by using HR‐TEM, XRD, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements and were applied in catalysis for the oxidation of CO. The catalytic performance is discussed in relation to the morphological properties of KCC‐1.
