Gold (Au)-silver (Ag) bimetallic catalyst supported on ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 exhibits unprecedentedly high activity and superior stability for the selective hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to methyl glycolate at a low temperature of 418 K. By contrast, monometallic Au/SBA-15 and Ag/SBA-15 catalysts are almost inactive under identical conditions. A combined tuning of particle dispersion and its surface electronic structure is shown as a consequence of the changes in the size and valence band structure of Au and Ag, which leads to significantly enhanced synergy. Considerably reduced apparent activation energies indicate that special active sites with the ability to activate substrate molecules more efficiently are generated in Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles. The Au-Ag bimetallic catalyst also displays excellent activity for the selective hydrogenation of some other unsaturated or saturated esters and acetic acid. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
