Highly Active Large Au Clusters and Even More Active Ag Nanoparticles Supported on Ceria-Zirconia: Impact of Particle Size and Potassium Ion Loading on Activity in Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation

Although heterogeneous monometallic gold catalysts are commonly more active when the gold particles are smaller, this study shows that the reverse is true in the case of liquid phase catalytic transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone with 2-pentanol. Higher catalytic activity of larger gold particles,...
