title: Dramatic promotion of gold/titania for CO oxidation by sulfate ions.
abstract: The activity of gold/titania catalysts for the room-temperature oxidation of CO can be dramatically enhanced by the addition of sulfate ions to the support; it appears that anion promotion of gold may be a general phenomenon and may be related to the direct modification of active gold sites in the case of sulfate ions, as evidenced by secondary ion mass spectrometry.
