Surface-passivated SBA-15-supported gold nanoparticles: Highly improved catalytic activity and selectivity toward hydrophobic substrates

Silanol groups on a silica surface affect the activity of immobilized catalysts because they can influence the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, matter transfer, or even transition state in a catalytic reaction. Previously, these silanol groups have usually been passivated by using surface-passivation...
