contents A bimetallic Au-Pd catalyst supported on ceriazirconia with Au:Pd molar ratio 0.8 has been synthesized using a simultaneous deposition-precipitation method and oxidized at 250, 450, and 700 $^\circ$C in order to modify its particle size, nanostructure, and composition. Combined Xray energy dispersive spectroscopy and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis clearly evidence that the bimetallic Au-Pd catalyst oxidized at 250 $^\circ$C is made up of a mixture of monometallic Au and Pd and bimetallic Au-Pd nanoparticles with Au:Pd ratios varying over a wide range. Increasing oxidation temperature leads to a stronger interaction between Au and Pd. Meanwhile, a slight increase of particle size and a narrowing of the Au:Pd ratio in the bimetallic nanoparticles take place. Compared with titania and activated carbon supports, the resistance against sintering at high temperatures of Au-Pd metal particles supported on ceriazirconia is proven to be higher. A synergistic effect has been observed for selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol on these catalysts. The catalytic activity decreases only slightly after oxidation at 450 $^\circ$C. However, oxidation at 700 $^\circ$C results in much lower catalytic activity. Migration of Pd onto Au particles during oxidation of benzyl alcohol enhances the catalytic activity of a physical mixture of monometallic Au and Pd supported on ceriazirconia catalysts. This fact, jointly with an analysis of the intrinsic activity, reveals the influence of the actual nature of Au-Pd interactions in the bimetallic particles, which points to higher activity of Au@Pd or Au@Pd@Pd nanostructures on ceria-zirconia support.
