The origin of the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles remains debated despite extensive studies. This in operando work investigates the relationship between catalytic activity and size/shape of gold nanoparticles supported on TiO2(110) during CO oxidation. The nanoparticles were synthesized by vapor deposition in ultrahigh vacuum. Their geometry was monitored in the presence of O-2, Ar, or a mixture of O-2 + CO and of Ar + CO by grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering simultaneously with the catalytic activity. The occurrence of CO oxidation induces a sintering directly correlated to the reaction rate. The catalytic activity is optimum for a nanoparticle's diameter of 2.1 +/- 0.3 nm and a height of about six atomic layers. Below this size, the activity drop corresponds to a height decrease. Rescaling of activities obtained in different experimental conditions shows consistency of these results with published data using both model and real catalysts.
