In-situ DRIFTS studies suggested that the surface hydroxyl groups played a key role in the partial oxidation of HCHO into the formate intermediates, which can be further oxidized into CO2 and H2O with participation of nano-Au. This study challenges the traditional idea of supporting noble metals on reducible oxides for HCHO oxidation at room temperature. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 发表时间:2013-12-05
