Cover Feature: Au-Pd Bimetallic Nanoparticles Immobilised on Titanate Nanotubes: A Highly Active Catalyst for Selective Oxidation (ChemCatChem 23/2017).

The Cover Feature shows a highly active Au‐Pd/Ti‐NT catalyst that has been produced by using colloidal synthesis and immobilization on essentially sodium‐free Ti‐nanotubes (NTs). In their Full Paper, M. Khawaji and D. Chadwick describe a new catalyst with excellent performance in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The superior catalytic activity of the catalyst is shown to be a result of the high metal dispersion on the external surfaces of Ti‐NTs, the narrow particle size distribution and the consistent formation of Au‐Pd mixed alloy nanoparticles in close to a 1:1 weight ratio. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Khawaji and D. Chadwick on page 4353 in Issue 23, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201700851). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
