Abstract:

It is a current research focus for bottom-up designing high performance nono-gold catalyst. This paper introduces the advanced synthesis routes on the basis of citric acid，mercaptan and dendrimer methods，these controlled synthesis would clarify nano-structure and beneficial for supporting. Progress of chemical and electrochemical catalysis with nano-gold are analyzed，and it is realized that the exploration on the quantum double-layer and molecular-like effects in electro-catalysis would likely make breakthrough in the fields of fuel cell and biosensor.
