Abstract
ABSTRACTThe recent interest in oxidation catalysis provides the focus for this paper. Until recently gold has been overlooked as a key component of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. However, the observation in the 1980's that nanocrystalline gold supported on oxides was an effective catalyst for low temperature carbon monoxide oxidation has now captured the imagination of many researchers. At present low temperature carbon monoxide oxidation remains an intensely studied field, but in recent years increased emphasis has been placed on using gold catalysts for selective oxidation. For example the oxidation of alkanes, alkenes and alcohols have all been shown to be effective with gold based catalysts. In addition gold palladium catalysts have been shown to be very effective for the direct formation of hydrogen peroxide and this will be described in this paper.
