8.6 Conclusion
h e catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles/nanoclusters plays an immense
role in oxidation reactions. By i ne tuning gold nanoparticle size, support
oxides and reaction conditions, industrially challenging reactions like pro-
pylene epoxidation, glucose oxidation and alcohol oxidation can be carried
out. h e chemistry regarding the role of gold nanoparticles and nanoclu-
sters varies with the nature of the reaction. High thermal stability and less
leaching of the gold catalyst compared to other coinage metals have proven
the need for extensive exploratory research on catalytic activity using an
environmentally benign industrial route for i ne chemical synthesis.
