Au nanoparticles supported on alumina (Au/Al2O3) with average particle size of 3.9 ± 0.7 nm and surface plasmon band centerned at 516.5 nm were prepared by deposition–precipitation method, and their photocatalytic activities for the reduction of nitrobenzene using either formic acid in acetonitrile...
