“…[4,[36][37][38][39] The coking deposition and the agglomeration or the reduction of active species are the main reasons for the deactivation of Au-based catalyst, which have been briefly introduced in the previous literatures. [3,40] Consequently, researchers strive to design and regulate the Aubased catalyst by modifying the carrier, [11,41,42,43,44] adding additives [9,40,45,46] and ligand coordination, [47,48] so as to inhibit the deactivation of Au-based catalysts, and enhance the activity and stability. Considering that high-valence state gold species are easily reduced by the carrier or acetylene, researchers sought different ligands and prepared precursors containing high-valence state gold by coordination between the ligands and the gold cations to improve the catalytic performance of gold-based catalysts.…”
