In this study, Au-Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 (Au-CeZr) and Sm modified AuCeZr catalysts were synthesized by organic deposition-precipitation method using gold acetate and samarium acetate as Au and Sm precursors and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide as precipitating agent. The synthesized nanocrystalline Au-CeZr and Sm modified Au-CeZrmaterials found be effective catalysts for benzyl alcohol oxidation at low reaction temperatures. The catalystswere characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, ... Read more
