Synthesis of Au-cerium oxide for catalytic reduction of para-nitrophenol / Nur Sakeenah Khairudin

The reduction of p-nitrophenol is a widely studied reaction and serves as an important model reaction to evaluate the catalytic activity. In this study, a facile and scalable synthesis method was employed to prepare cerium oxide support via chemical and co-precipitation, meanwhile gold (Au) was depo...
