Novel single-site gold WGS catalysts may offer pathway to lower-cost production of hydrogen, fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

They thus have found that gold is similar to platinum in creating –O and –OH linkages with more than eight alkali ions and establishing an active site on various supports. The alkali ion–associated surface OH groups were activated by CO at low temperatures (~100 °C) in the presence of atomically dispersed platinum. —Yang et al.
