Abstract

Gold nanoparticles prepared by colloidal methods are effective catalysts for selective glycerol oxidation under basic conditions. Large-scale synthesis of catalysts by wet chemical methods leads to large amounts of waste and can result in polymer or salt residues remaining on the catalyst. In contrast, gas-phase cluster deposition (cluster beam deposition) offers a solvent-free method to synthesize controlled nanoparticles/clusters. We show that the deposition of bare gas-phase gold clusters onto carbon powder leads to a catalyst comparable to that prepared by colloidal methods. This shows the feasibility of the synthesis method to produce oxidation catalysts with reduced waste.
