Three-dimensionally (3D) ordered mesoporous β-MnO2-supported Au nanocatalysts (Au/β-MnO2(urea), Au/β-MnO2(NaOH), and Au/β- [Formula: see text] ) with an Au loading of 5wt.% were prepared by the deposition–precipitation method using urea, NaOH and Na2CO3as precipitating agent, respectively. The physicochemical properties of the materials were characterized by means of numerous analytical techniques, and their catalytic activities were evaluated for the complete oxidation of CO, benzene, and toluene. It is shown that the nature of precipitating agent had an important influence on the physicochemical properties of the β-MnO2support, Au nanoparticles, and Au/β-MnO2catalysts. Among the three Au/β-MnO2samples, the Au/β-MnO2(NaOH)showed the highest surface atomic ratios of Mn3+/Mn4+, Oads/Olatt, and Au3+/Au0. The loading of gold could greatly modify the reducibility of Au/β-MnO2via the strong interaction between the gold and the β-MnO2support, and the Au/β-MnO2(NaOH)sample possessed the best low-temperature reducibility. Gold loading resulted in a significant enhancement in catalytic activity of β-MnO2. The three Au/β-MnO2catalysts outperformed the Au-free β-MnO2catalyst, among which the Au/β-MnO2(NaOH)one showed the best catalytic activity (T50%and T100%=48 and 70°C for CO oxidation, 200 and 250°C for benzene oxidation, and 170 and 220°C for toluene oxidation, respectively). It is concluded that factors, such as the better gold dispersion, higher surface Au3+and oxygen adspecies concentrations, better low-temperature reducibility, stronger synergistic action between the gold and the support as well as the high-quality 3D ordered mesoporous structure of the support, might be responsible for the excellent catalytic performance of Au/β-MnO2(NaOH).
