Abstract

An Au-based heterojunction electrocatalyst supported on Cr(OH)₃ was synthesized by a liquid-phase method. The metal–support interactions between Au and Cr(OH)₃ play a key role in modulating the microstructure and charge distribution of the Au-based active centers. This synergy significantly enhances the catalytic activity and stability for the electrooxidation of benzyl alcohol.
