The confinement effect on the activity of Au NPs in polyol oxidation / A. Villa, D. Wang, C.E. Chan-Thaw, S. Campisi, G.M. Veith, L. Prati. - In: CATALYSIS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY. - ISSN 2044-4753. - 6:3(2016), pp. 598-601.
Abstract:
We demonstrate a confinement effect where gold nanoparticles trapped within N-functionalized carbon nanofibers (N-CNFs) are more active for polyol oxidation and promote selectivity towards di-acid products, whereas AuNPs trapped on the surface produce as a major by-product the one derived from C-C cleavage. The behaviour of NPs confined inside the N-CNF channels can be attributed to a different, possibly multiple, coordination of glycerol on the active site.
