Journal ArticleDOI
Solvent-Free Oxidation of Primary Alcohols to Aldehydes Using Au-Pd/TiO2 Catalysts
Dan I. Enache,Jennifer K. Edwards,Philip Landon,Benjamin Solsona-Espriu,Albert Frederick Carley,Andrew A. Herzing,Masashi Watanabe,Christopher J. Kiely,David W. Knight,Graham J. Hutchings +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Au/Pd-TiO2 catalysts give very high turnover frequencies (up to 270,000 turnovers per hour) for the oxidation of alcohols, including primary alkyl alcohols and the addition of Au to Pd nanocrystals improved the overall selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Active Gold Nanoclusters on Iron Oxide Supports for CO Oxidation
Andrew A. Herzing,Christopher J. Kiely,Albert Frederick Carley,Philip Landon,Graham J. Hutchings +4 more
TL;DR: High catalytic activity for carbon monoxide oxidation is correlated with the presence of bilayer clusters that are ∼0.5 nanometer in diameter and contain only ∼10 gold atoms, consistent with that demonstrated previously with the use of model catalyst systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and reactions of functionalised gold nanoparticles
TL;DR: Stable functionalised gold nanoparticles are prepared by simultaneous reduction of tetrachloroaurate ions and attachment of bifunctional organic thiol molecules to the growing gold nuclei leading to a material whose chemical behaviour is characterised by the vacant functionality of the bifunctionsal thiol ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tunable gold catalysts for selective hydrocarbon oxidation under mild conditions
Mathew D Hughes,Yi-Jun Xu,Patrick Jenkins,Paul McMorn,Philip Landon,Dan I. Enache,Albert Frederick Carley,Gary Anthony Attard,Graham J. Hutchings,Frank King,E. Hugh Stitt,Peter Johnston,Ken Griffin,Christopher J. Kiely +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that nanocrystalline gold catalysts can provide tunable active catalysts for the oxidation of alkenes using air, with exceptionally high selectivity to partial oxidation products and significant conversions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing bimetallic catalysts for a green and sustainable future
Meenakshisundaram Sankar,Nikolaos Dimitratos,Nikolaos Dimitratos,Peter J. Miedziak,Peter P. Wells,Peter P. Wells,Christopher J. Kiely,Graham J. Hutchings +7 more
TL;DR: A specific objective of this review article is to motivate researchers to synthesize some of the "designer" bimetallic catalysts with specific nanostructures, inspired from recent advances in the area of materials chemistry, and to utilize them for the transformation of biomass derived materials that are very complex and pose different challenges compared to those of simple organic molecules.
