Gold catalysis : Experimental and theoretical data demonstrated consistently that the interfacial sites on a Au/TiO 2 catalyst show both high reactivity and selectivity for low‐temperature methanol oxidation with O 2 to give formaldehyde. The microscopic mechanism of this complex reaction has been unraveled in full molecular detail (see picture, gold cluster on TiO 2 surface).
