Abstract: Abstract: Au/CeO2 catalyst was prepared via a deposition–precipitation method and further pretreated in different atmospheres prior to CO oxidation. A reductive atmosphere pretreatment slightly improved the low-temperature activity of Au/CeO2. The greatest activity was achieved when Au/CeO2 catalyst was subjected to an oxidative atmosphere followed by a reductive atmosphere pretreatment. Analysis using XRD, TEM and nitrogen sorption measurement showed that pretreatment retains the crystal phase, morphology and pore structure of CeO2. However, there was a change in the interaction between gold species and CeO2 support, as revealed by H2-TPR measurement. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
