Abstract

An efficient titania supported Au nanocluster (NC) has been prepared for the direct synthesis of useful EtOH from CO₂ and H₂. The unique creation of an excellent synergistic effect between Au NCs and the underlying TiO₂ support, especially the anatase crystal phase with abundant oxygen vacancies, can achieve the high performance for EtOH synthesis under moderate and practical conditions.
