A series of Au–M (M = Cu, Co, Ru and Pd) bimetallic catalysts were supported on TiO2via a deposition–precipitation (DP) method, using urea as a precipitating agent. The resulting catalysts were employed in the catalytic oxidation of cellobiose to gluconic acid and the properties of these catalysts w...
