A unique gold/titania-based catalyst displays significant activity for CO oxidation at temperatures as low as 120 K. The reaction involves several titania-adsorbed CO species and a synergy between the CO and O uptakes on the surface, presumably thanks to the presence of new titanate sites formed by treatment with NaOH.
