Abstract

This review summarizes the utilization of gold nanoparticles as efficient catalysts for a variety of chemical transformations like oxidation, hydrogenation, and coupling reactions as compared to conventional catalytic materials. This review explores the gold nanoparticles-based catalysts for the liquid phase chemo-selective organic transformations which are proving to be evergreen reactions and have importance for industrial applications. Apart from organic transformation reactions, gold nanoparticles have been found to be applicable in removing the atmospheric contaminants and improving the efficiency of the fuel cells by removing the impurities of carbon monoxide.

Keywords: Gold nanoparticles, heterogeneous catalysis, oxidation, reduction, coupling reactions, pollution control.
