Bimetallic clusters, all containing gold, have been produced by laser vaporisation of bulk alloys followed by deposition of the formed clusters onto Al2O3 and TiO2 powders or. at silica supports. This technique allows a narrow size distribution of highly dispersed gold-based nanoparticles on powders and nanocrystalline structured thin films on 2D supports to be obtained. The catalytic performances of the as-obtained AuFe, AuNi, AuTi powdery catalysts have been studied in the PROX reaction and compared with those obtained in the oxidation of CO in the temperature range 25-300 degrees C. By comparing the activities of the different catalysts, it is concluded that the nature of the gold partner directly affects the activity of gold. The following tendency is observed: AuFe and AuNi have rather similar activities, significantly lower than that of AuTi. In this paper, we also present a first attempt to study reactivity of original self-supported systems. We show that significant CO oxidation reactivity can be obtained over unsupported nanoporous AuTi and PdAu thin films. By completely excluding the support effect, unsupported catalysts could provide a way of understanding the relevant catalytic mechanisms more easily.
