Synthesis of sub-nanometer gold particles on modified silica

Abstract

The deposition of gold on silica tends to give large particles when using conventional techniques. We report the preparation of 0.8 ± 0.2 nm particles on a modified SBA-15 support. The method involves the functionalization of silica with amine groups and deposition of gold at basic pH. These catalysts are highly active and selective in the dehydrogenation of formic acid.
