Gold (Au) is chemically stable and resistant to oxidation. Although bulk Au is catalytically inert, nanostructured Au exhibits unique size-dependent catalytic activity. When Au nanocatalysts are supported on conductive carbon (denoted as Au@C), Au@C becomes promising for a wide range of electrochemical reactions such as electrooxidation of alcohols and electroreduction of carbon dioxide. In this mini-review, we summarize Au@C nanocatalysts with specific attention on the most recent achievements ...[more]
