title: Catalytic activity of gold supported on ZnO tetrapods for the preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide under hydrogen rich conditions.
abstract: It is reported that 3 nm gold nanoparticles deposited on ZnO tetrapods show high activity for the selective oxidation of carbon monoxide in hydrogen rich streams; the catalytic activity of this system is at least twice as high as the values hither to observed on any conventional support for this reaction.
