Titania support dried at 120 °C
In this HOT article, Hutchings et al. investigate the effect of heat treatment to vary the metal particle size (2–20 nm) in Au-core–Pd-shell catalysts. They found that an “optimum size” is required for benzyl alcohol oxidation and hydrogen peroxide synthesis. A mild heat treatment (200 °C) also improved catalytic performance in addition to optimising the heat treatment process.
