TLDR
The influence of the preparation methods on the catalytic activity for CO oxidation was markedly large for Au-TiO2 and negligible for Pt- TiO2 catalysts as discussed by the authors, and the most active catalysts for both Pt and Au were prepared by deposition-precipitation (DP), photodeposition (FD), and impregnation (IMP).
Abstract
The influence of the preparation methods on the catalytic activity for CO oxidation was markedly large for Au-TiO2 and negligible for Pt-TiO2 catalysts. Platinum and gold were deposited on TiO2 by deposition-precipitation (DP), photodeposition (FD) and impregnation (IMP). The DP method gave the most active catalysts for both Pt and Au. Gold catalysts prepared by DP were active at temperatures below 273 K and showed a much greater activity than Pt catalysts.

Onset of Catalytic Activity of Gold Clusters on Titania with the Appearance of Nonmetallic Properties

TL;DR: Results suggest that supported clusters, in general, may have unusual catalytic properties as one dimension of the cluster becomes smaller than three atomic spacings.

Metal Catalysts for Heterogeneous Catalysis: From Single Atoms to Nanoclusters and Nanoparticles.

TL;DR: This Review will compare the results obtained from different systems and try to give a picture on how different types of metal species work in different reactions and give perspectives on the future directions toward better understanding of the catalytic behavior of different metal entities in a unifying manner.

On the origin of the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles for low-temperature CO oxidation

TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that there may be several effects contributing to the catalytic properties of supported nanosized gold particles, and that it is useful to order them in a hierarchy.

Selective Vapor-Phase Epoxidation of Propylene over Au/TiO2Catalysts in the Presence of Oxygen and Hydrogen

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that propylene adsorbed on a gold surface may react with oxygen species formed at the perimeter interface between the gold particles and the TiO2support through the reaction of oxygen with hydrogen.

Catalysis of Gold Nanoparticles Deposited on Metal Oxides

TL;DR: The catalytic performance of Au nanoparticles is defined by three major factors: contact structure, support selection, and particle size, the first being the most important because the perimeter interfaces around Au particles act as the site for reaction as discussed by the authors.

Gold catalysts prepared by coprecipitation for low-temperature oxidation of hydrogen and of carbon monoxide

TL;DR: In this paper, gold catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation from an aqueous solution of HAuCl4 and the nitrates of various transition metals, including Auα-Fe2O3, AuCo3O4, and AuNiO.

Low-Temperature Oxidation of CO over Gold Supported on TiO2, α-Fe2O3, and Co3O4

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a mechanism in which CO adsorbed on gold particles migrates toward the perimeter on support oxides and there it reacts with oxygen to form bidentate carbonate species.

Photoassisted hydrogen production from a water-ethanol solution: a comparison of activities of AuTiO2 and PtTiO2

TL;DR: A comparison of the photocatalytic activity for H 2 generation between Au and Pt was made in this paper, where the results showed that the overall activity of Au samples was generally about 30% lower than that of Pt samples.
