Abstract

Bimetallic Au-Pd nanoparticles were deposited on CeO2 and used in the destruction of toluene, which exhibited the mutual promotional effect compared with Au/CeO2 and Pd/CeO2 catalysts. This is due to the synergistic effect between Au and Pd. The addition of suitable amount of gold to Pd/CeO2 increased the proportion of metallic palladium and the catalytic activity.
