Gold nanoparticles on transition-metal oxides were synthesized by two different methods: precipitation and photoinduced decomposition of an intermediate gold-azido complex. Only samples prepared by the precipitation method showed significant CO conversion at low temperature. XPS shows the formation of two Au species (Au-0 and Au delta+) on the surface of active Au/TiO2 and Au/Fe2O3 samples. The energy shift of the Au delta+ peak depends on the support and is 0.6 and 0.9 eV for Au/TiO2 and Au/Fe2O3, respectively. TEM images indicate the formation of overlayer on Au particles. These results prove Au activation via a strong metal-support interaction, on the basis of the strong influence of the support on the electronic structure of the gold through charge transfer and stabilization of low-coordinated Au atoms.
