Impregnation and deposition-precipitation (DP) methods were employed for the preparation of Au nanoparticles supported on SBA-15, and the influences of various reductants were systematically surveyed. The dispersion and particle size of gold loaded on SBA-15 were determined by XRD, SEM and TEM. It has been found that reductants have effect on the size and dispersion of Au NPs, resulting in different catalytic properties for aerobic oxidation of glucose. The Au NPs on SBA-15 using KBH4as reductant was approximately 5-6 nm, which exhibited excellent catalytic activity.

Au NPs were generated via in situ reduction on copolymer brush P(OEGMA-co-MQ) functionalized GO. MQ units in the brushes as capping agents could stabilize the Au NPs. The Au NPs–GO hybrid exhibited high catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-NP.

AbstractOxidation of a mixture of glucose and arabinose over Au particles deposited on porous carbons, N-doped carbons and carbon nitrides was investigated at 70 °C, under constant pH of 8, and oxygen partial pressure 0.125 atm. In particular, Au deposited on nitrogen-containing carbon-based mesoporous structures demonstrated activity in the oxidation of the sugars to the corresponding aldonic acids higher than gold deposited on undoped carbon supports (conversion of glucose up to ca. 60%, arabinose–ca. 30% after 200 min). The results can be explained by the basic nature of the supports leading to an increase in the polarity of the carbon surface and the oxygen activation. Glucuronic acid (with selectivity ca. 10–93.5%) together with gluconic acid was formed as a result of glucose oxidation, while arabinose was selectively oxidized to arabinonic acid.

<p>Cellulose-based functional materials have gained immense interest due to its low density, hydrophilicity, chirality, and degradability. So far, a facile and scalable preparation of fibrillated cellulose by treating the hydroxy groups of cellulose with citric acid (F-CAC) have been developed, and applied as a reinforcing filler for polypropylene composite. Herein, a size-selective preparation of Au nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized by F-CAC is described. By modifying the conditions of trans-deposition method, established in our group previously, a transfer of Au NPs from poly(<i>N</i>-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) to F-CAC proceeded up to 96% transfer efficiency with retaining its cluster sizes in EtOH. Meanwhile, the deposition efficiency drastically decreased in the case of non-modified cellulose, showing the significance of citric acid-modification. A shift of binding energy at Au 4f core level X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS) from 82.0 eV to 83.3 eV indicated that the NPs were stabilized on a F-CAC surface rather than by PVP matrix. The reproducible particle size growth was observed when 2-propanol was used as a solvent instead of EtOH, expanding the range of the available particle size with simple manipulation. The thus-obtained Au:F-CAC nanocatalysts exhibited a catalytic activity toward an aerobic oxidation of 1-indonol in toluene to yield 1-indanone quantitatively, and were recyclable at least 6 times, illustrating high tolerance against organic solvents.</p>

The metal–support interaction (MSI) has a remarkable effect on the catalytic properties, but how to precisely modulate its degree remains a huge challenge. Herein, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with three different molecular weights (MWs) (24, 58, and 130 kDa) was used as a capping agent to fabricate Ag nanoparticles (NPs) supported on ZrO2. The physiochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) techniques. The impacts of MSI on the catalytic activity and reaction kinetics for aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) were investigated. The results showed that the introduction of PVP with various MWs could efficiently tailor the interfacial interactions and charge transfers (CT) among PVP, the support, and Ag NPs, thereby affecting the oxidation activity of HMF. The turnover number (TON) for HMF oxidation decreases in the order of unsupported colloidal Ag clusters > Ag/ZrO2 (58,000) > Ag/ZrO2 (130,000) > Ag/ZrO2 (24,000) > Ag/ZrO2. The reason for this large difference in the catalytic activity for HMF oxidation is that various MWs of PVP result in a change of MSI, thereby facilitating CT from PVP to Ag metal sites. This study offers a new strategy for modulating MSI by varying the MW of capping agents, thereby tuning the catalytic properties in the oxidation of HMF.

Highly ordered macro- and meso- porous carbon materials were prepared in a facile nanocasting approach using colloidal crystals silica and SBA-15 as starting template, respectively. The synthesized macroporous carbon templated from colloidal silica shows a honeycomb-like morphology and three-dimensionally interconnected networks of macrospores of about 400 nm in diameter. The resulting mesoporous carbon derived from SBA-15 templates exhibits high specific area (1206m2/g), large pore volume (1.097cc/g) and uniform pore size distribution (3.64 nm). These carbon materials were employed to aerobic oxidation of glucose as support of Au NPs catalyst. 2wt% Au NPs/mesoporous carbon shows high catalytic activity due to highly dispersion of Au NPs resulting from the confinement effects of mesoporous carbon.

Atomic-level gold clusters are decorated on a polyaniline (PANI) support by a cyclic atomic electrodeposition process, and the catalytic activity in the oxidation of glucose is studied. The evaluation is conducted by cyclic voltammetry using atomic-level gold clusters-decorated PANI (PANI/AuN, where N indicates the atomic size of the Au cluster and N = 1~3 in this study) as the working electrode and a solution containing 0 to 50.0 mM of glucose in phosphate-buffered saline. The catalytic activity is determined from the oxidation current observed at around +0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The catalytic activity is found to be affected by the size of gold clusters decorated on the PANI/AuN, whereby the catalytic activity is low when N is 1 or 3. On the other hand, an obvious enhancement in the catalytic activity is observed for the PANI/Au2 electrode.
