Abstract: Fibrous titania prepared from a potassium dititanate whisker precursor was used as the gold catalyst support for CO oxidation. The fibrous titania calcined at 600 oC had a mesoporous structure, whereas the meso-structure totally collapsed when calcined at 800 oC. Disparate gold particle sizes and gold-titania interface areas resulted in the comparative catalytic performance for Au/TiO2(600 oC) and Au/TiO2(800 oC).

Key words: gold, fibrous titania, carbon monoxide, oxidation
