ADSORPTIVE PROPERTIES AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF GOLD NANOPARTICLES, PREPARATED IN REVERSE MICELLES
The adsorptive and catalytic properties of gold nanoparticles, prepared in reverse micelles solutions by chemical reduction and deposition on γ-Al2O3 were studied. As model reaction H2 + D2 = 2HD was used. In contrast to bulk gold, catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles has been found.
