Abstract: The catalytic performance of Au/ZnOcatalysts prepared by a coprecipitation method for COox-idation at ambient temperature and moisture was studied. It was found that the chemical composition, the activity and the stability of the catalysts were greatly changed with the variation of calcination temperature. The sample calcined at 240 ℃ showed the best stability, i.e. it can maintain COcomplete conversion for 600 h. XRD, FTIR, TEMand UV Vis results indicated that gold could be highly dispersed on the surface of ZnCO3 or ZnO, with the mean diameter of gold particle being2—5 nm. The type of support was the main influencing factors on the stability of Au/ZnOcatalysts, the stability of ZnOsupported gold catalysts was better than that of the ZnCO3 supported gold samples. The smaller of ZnOparticle and the bigger of S BET, the better of the stability of Au/ZnOcatalysts was obtained.
