Abstract

A new single-step borohydride (SSBH) reduction technique is described for the preparation of gold-titania catalysts. The preparation method has the merit of simplicity but leads to the formation of catalysts which are among the most active Au-titania systems described to date for the oxidation of carbon monoxide and which contain gold in a highly dispersed state.
