Titania-supported gold nanoparticles were prepared by using the deposition–precipitation method, followed by reduction under a hydrogen flow. The catalytic activity of these as-prepared catalysts was explored in the oxidation of cellobiose to gluconic acid with molecular oxygen, and the properties o...
