Pyrrolidone Modifying Gold Nanocatalysts for Enhanced Catalytic Activities in Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols and Carbon Monoxide

<div>TG curves of the Au/TiO<sub>2</sub> before (a) and after (b) PVP modification. The significant weight decrease at 400 to 600 °C is attributed to the removal of PVP species. In contrast, the as-synthesized Au/TiO<sub>2</sub> gives the weight decrease at ~1% in the same temperature region, demonstrating the lack of PVP.</div>
