Synthesis of plasmonic gold nanoparticles supported on morphology-controlled TiO2 for aerobic alcohol oxidation

In the present research study, we report the synthesis of nano-sized gold (Au) particles immobilized on TiO2 support material. The morphologies of TiO2 support material was tailored and tuned to be rod, tube and microporous materials. The effect of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (NPs) deposited on different morphologies of TiO2 was studied. The prepared catalysts were characterized by various characterization techniques in order to have a detailed...
