Abstract

TiO₂-supported Au nanocatalysts are highly attractive for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction due to their high catalytic activity at low temperatures. Herein, the (Au/TiO_2–x)_OP catalyst synthesized by the combination of warm and cold plasmas exhibits a high WGS reaction rate of 1.63 mol·g_Au^–1·h^–1 at 120 °C, being one of the highest WGS rates among Au/TiO₂ catalysts. The warm plasma generates a large amount of oxygen vacancies, while the cold plasma treatment generates small Au nanoparticles and interfacial sites. The (Au/TiO_2–x)_OP catalyst features two kinds of abundant active sites including Au^δ+-O^δ−-Ti⁴⁺ and Au⁰-O_v-Ti³⁺, which accelerate the WGS reaction simultaneously along the intermediate and redox reaction pathways, respectively.
