Abstract

![CDATA[Nano-gold particles behave completely different, and exhibit excellent catalytic activity towards various organic transformations. Thus, the nano-gold particles, which are catalytically more active, are of significant interest. Unlike many other noble metals, gold surface is not poisoned owing to its high ionization potential leading to enhanced activity. In this regard, well dispersed nano-gold on nano-graphite surface leads to exceptional catalytic activity. In particular, the supported material acts as mild oxidation catalyst and yield highly selective products in addition to higher active life. In this investigation, the catalytic activity of gold supported nano-graphite system is reported, especially for selective oxidation of glycerol into glyceric acid.]]
