Abstract

With the introduction of carbon on Au/TiO₂, the reaction rate of C/Au/TiO₂ increased by 29% and the stability was enhanced by about 3 times more than Au/TiO₂ in the p-nitrophenol reduction reaction. Carbon species enhanced the stability of Au nanoparticles and also increase the organic reactants adsorptive ability.
