Abstract: Since the 90’s, Au catalysis has attracted a lot of attention; however, the active sites of Au catalysts are still not well understood. Here we report a systematic study of the activation mechanism of Au in CO oxidation using in-situ and ex-situ techniques. Our in-situ measurements show that the oxidation of extended Au surfaces by O3 treatment is accompanied by the formation of a metastable surface oxide; however, Au-oxide does not directly participate in CO oxidation over Au catalysts. Au NPs on oxygen-free supports remain inactive regardless of the NPs’ size and the type of the support. In contrast, Au NPs on transition metal oxides show high catalytic activity, which depends on the method of preparation. Our findings suggest that Au NPs are activated via Strong Metal Support Interactions, assuming a strong influence of the support on the electronic Au structure through charge transfer and stabilization of low-coordinated Au atoms.
