Self- regeneration of Au/CeO2 based catalysts with enhanced activity and ultra-stability for acetylene hydrochlorination

Despite the extensive efforts to stabilize Au catalysts for industrial hydrochlorination of acetylene to vinyl chloride the deactivation is not overcome yet. Here, the authors demonstrate that the ceria promotion to Au catalysts affords enhanced activity and stability via formation of Au(0)/Au(I) as...
