Oxidation mechanisms at gold nanoclusters unraveled

Friday, October 8, 2010 - 11:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers believe that the puzzle of catalytic gold is now partially solved. Gold can catalyse an oxidation reaction by first oxidising itself. New research evidence on gold-oxide phase at room temperature and atmospheric pressure help us to finally understand the oxidation mechanisms of catalytic gold nanoclusters in these conditions.
