Identification of active phases in Au–Fe catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation
Literature Information
In the light of a recent study which identified the beneficial influence of poorly crystallised ferrihydrite Fe5HO8·4H2O on the activity of CO conversion catalysts comprising gold nanoparticles on oxidic iron, we have investigated three series of ferrihydrite-rich samples prepared by coprecipitation. The samples were structurally and chemically characterised using X-ray diffraction and both 57Fe and 197Au Mössbauer spectroscopy, and tested for CO oxidation at room temperature using a microreactor with on-line GC. The highest activity, 100% conversion after 20 min on line, was observed in a dried sample that contained ferrihydrite and a non-crystalline and possibly hydrated gold oxyhydroxide phase, AuOOH·xH2O. The activity of the same materials after calcination, where the gold was transformed to 3–5 nm Au metal particles and the ferrihydrite to hematite, was less than ca. 7%. This is the first report of a synergistic interaction between AuOOH·xH2O and ferrihydrite resulting in an active catalyst for room temperature CO oxidation, and contrasts with previous work which has been interpreted in terms of the requirement for metallic Au nanoparticles.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
