Single-step co-deposition of nanostructured tungsten oxide supported gold nanoparticles using a gold–phosphine cluster complex as the gold precursor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of a molecular gold organometallic cluster in chemical vapour deposition is reported, and it is utilized, together with a tungsten oxide precursor, for the single-step co-deposition of (nanostructured) tungsten oxide supported gold nanoparticles (NPs). The deposited gold-NP and tungsten oxide supported gold-NP are highly active catalysts for benzyl alcohol oxidation; both show higher activity than SiO2 supported gold-NP synthesized via a solution-phase method, and tungsten oxide supported gold-NP show excellent selectivity for conversion to benzaldehyde.

Preparation of supported gold nanoparticles by a modified incipient wetness impregnation method.
In this work, we show that if the mere procedure of impregnation of oxide supports with chloroauric acid, which is well-known to lead to large gold particles, is followed by a step of washing with ammonia, small gold particles (3-4 nm) can be obtained after a treatment of calcination at 300 degrees C on any type of oxide supports (alumina, titania, silica). Moreover, gold leaching is very limit...
متن کاملBiolistic co-transformation of rice using gold nanoparticles
ABSTRACT- In order to produce transgenic rice lines lacking selectable marker gene, biolistic co-transformation technique using gold nanoparticles was adopted. In the first step, the efficiency of different sizes of gold particles was evaluated. The results showed that the efficiency of the nanoparticles in the transformation was comparable to that of the micro particles. Subsequently, two sepa...
متن کاملBiomedical Application of a Novel Nanostructured-based Electrochemical Platform for Therapeutic Monitoring of an Antiepileptic Drug; Gabapentin
Herein, gold nanoparticle had been successfully synthesized through a simple, inexpensive and clean electrochemical technique. Gold nanoparticles were directly deposited on the electrode surface using an electrochemical strategy. Then, the electrochemical deposition parameters (such as applied potential and deposition time) were optimized. 1.1 V and 250 s were applied as the optimal electrodepo...
متن کاملCO oxidation over Au/TiO2 prepared from metal-organic gold complexes
Although the early publications by Bond et al. [1,2] and Parravano et al. [3,4] reported that small gold particles exhibited catalytic activity for some reactions, such as hydrogenation of olefins and oxygen transfer reactions, gold was generally considered to be catalytically inactive [5]. Over the past 20 years, the volume of literature on the application of gold catalysts has been steadily i...
متن کاملGold catalytic Growth of Germanium Nanowires by chemical vapour deposition method
Germanium nanowires (GeNWs) were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) based on vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism with Au nanoparticles as catalyst and germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) as a precursor of germanium. Au catalysts were deposited on silicon wafer as a thin film, firstly by sputtering technique and secondly by submerging the silicon substrates in Au colloidal s...
