Abstract
Summarizing we synthesized a nanocrystalline nNiO exhibiting basic properties. This system was used as support for Au nanoparticles and the resulted catalyst showed very high activity and good stability when tested in alcohol oxidation. We ascribe this good performance to the basicity of nNiO and to a particular interaction between the nano-NiO and Au nanoparticles.
