Abstract

A microfibrous-structured gold catalyst was successfully prepared by gold galvanic deposition on a thin-sheet sinter-locked Cu-fibers. The catalyst has excellent heat transfer ability and enhanced low-temperature activity suitable for gas-phase oxidation of alcohols. The AuCu(alloy)-Cu2O active composites formed during reaction and their cooperative effect contribute to promoting the low-temperature activity.
