Abstract

FeO_x-supported Au catalysts prepared by co-precipitation (CP) were investigated for catalytic HCHO oxidation. The applied calcination temperature was found to greatly influence both the chemical properties and microstructure of the catalysts. Characterization using XRD, H₂-TPR and XPS suggested that lower calcination temperature improves the reducibility of the catalysts, and favors the presence of surface hydroxyl groups. Consequently, an Au/FeO_x catalyst calcined at 200°C afforded 100% conversion of HCHO into CO₂ and H₂O at room temperature and under humid air. In situ DRIFTs studies suggested that the moisture was essential for deep oxidation of the formate intermediates into CO₂ and H₂O, this being the rate limiting step for catalytic HCHO oxidation.
