Well dispersed gold nanoparticles on an ionic liquid layer supported on a mineral carrier have been prepared. This work is concentrated on the characterizations and understanding of the interactions between all the components of the catalytic system. The application of the materials in the reaction of oxidation of carbon monoxide shows rather unexpected results¡ªa good catalytic activity completely independent of the temperature. %K inorganic compounds %K organic compounds %K nanostructures %K chemical synthesis %K catalytic properties %U http://www.mdpi.com/2073-4344/1/1/52
