Au/TiO<sub>2</sub> catalysts promoted with Fe and Mg for n-octanol oxidation under mild conditions

Abstract

This work aims to further the understanding of gold-based catalytic oxidation of n-octanol in liquid phase. Modification of catalysts with metal oxides additives (Fe or Mg) was used as a tool for transforming and stabilizing gold species. Structural, electronic and catalytic properties of gold catalysts were systematically investigated by means of DRS, H₂, CO FTIR, S_BET, EDS and SEM, HRTEM, SR-XRD, XANES, XPS and liquid phase n-octanol oxidation. Addition of modifiers affects Au electronic properties, but not the structural ones. Characterization results allow excluding Au³⁺ ions as candidates for active sites in n-octanol oxidation. In Au/Mg/TiO₂, gold exhibited more reduced states while in Au/Fe/TiO₂ gold was more oxidized; Au/TiO₂ for intermediate oxidized states was found. The proper balance of oxidation states in the gold surface of Au/Mg/TiO₂ can be responsible for its higher activity compared with Au/Fe/TiO₂ and Au/TiO₂ towards n-octanol oxidation. Finally our approach shed light on the nature of active sites for n-octanol oxidation on gold and furthers the development of green base-free catalytic oxidation of alcohols.
