The influence of CePO nanorods on the CO oxidation activity of Au/GdPO-rods.

In this work, Au/GdPO-rods were found to be good catalysts for CO oxidation with a low content of Au. The dopant of CePO could influence the activity of Au/GdPO due to the synergistic effect. GdPO and CePO nanorods were obtained by a hydrothermal process and the Au/GdPO-rod and Au/Ce-GdPO-rod catalysts were prepared by deposition-precipitation synthesis.
