Gold nanoparticles deposited on TiO2-Ni prepared by sol-gel process catalyses the CO oxidation to hydrogen purification. Gold-catalysts were characterized by UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction, H-2-TPR, N-2 physisorption, HRTEM and STEM-HAADF microscopies. These catalysts were applied in the water-gas shift reaction at temperatures from 30 to 300 degrees C and this reaction was studied by DRIFTS to understand the catalytic surface phenomena. The best CO conversion was showed by doped Au/TiO2-Ni(1) with regard to Au/TiO2 sol-gel and Au/TiO2-P25 catalysts. DRIFTS confirm the strong and favorable effect of doping nickel ions into the reducible TiO2 framework. Nickel contents from 1 to 10% enhance the WGS reaction in contrast to the undoped catalyst. Ni-doped TiO2 support was practically inert for WGS reaction. These gold catalysts present significant activity in the water-gas shift reaction that allows purification of hydrogen from industrial sources at low-temperature.
