“…Conte et al attempted to enhance the gold dispersion and improve the stability of its higher oxidation state by the addition of a second metal (Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir, Rh) [27]. Although the results of these synthesized bimetal catalysts are not satisfactory, they concluded that (1) Au-Pd 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 catalysts, including AuCu [28], AuLa [29], AuBa [30], AuNi [31], AuCs [32,33], AuBi [14], AuTiO 2 [34], and AuCoCu [35], were synthesized and applied to acetylene hydrochlorination by different laboratories, and the results are listed in Table 2.…”
