A Facile Preparation of Highly Active Au/MgO Catalysts for Aerobic Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol
A facile method was proposed for one-step preparation of Au/MgO. In this method, the Au/MgO kept both basic sites of MgO crystal and low size of gold nanoparticles. Compared with those of Au/MgO prepared by conventional methods, Au/MgO by this method had the highest activity.
