Controlled Metal–Support Interactions in Au/CeO<sub>2</sub>–Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> Catalysts Activating the Direct Oxidative Esterification of Methacrolein with Methanol to Methyl Methacrylate

The strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) between the three components in Au/CeO<sub>2</sub>–Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> can be controlled by the relative composition of CeO<sub>2</sub> and Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> and by the calcination temperature for the direct...
