Mineralization of organic acids in aqueous suspensions of gold nanoparticles supported on cerium(IV) oxide powder under visible light irradiation.
Gold nanoparticles supported on cerium(IV) oxide powder showed strong absorption at around 550 nm due to localized surface plasmon resonance of Au and exhibited a higher level of activity than other Au-supporting samples in mineralization of organic acids in aqueous suspensions under irradiation of visible light (> ca. 520 nm).
