This book presents the major developments in hydrogen-related catalytic and electrocatalytic reactions over gold-based materials over the last decade, including many of the advances made by academic and industrial researchers. Gold-based catalysts with potentially exciting new applications in hydrogen technology (e.g. purification of hydrogen, anode/cathode electrodes) are being investigated at a much higher rate than even before. A variety of techniques to synthesize, characterize and evaluate these materials is being employed. The book will be of interest to all those working in catalysis/green chemistry, in particular, to advanced level researchers in catalysis using gold-based materials. It is hoped that specialists in one reaction will read with interest the chapters on the neighbouring expertise. The book is also meant for Ph D-students and advanced students interested in this area.

Dr. Tatyana Tabakova is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Catalysis, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Her main research interests are in the field of design and selection of heterogeneous catalysts, relation between structure and catalytic activity, mechanism of heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Since 1995 her activities are focused on preparation and characterization of nanosized gold catalysts supported on different metal oxides for reaction related to environmental protection: high-purity hydrogen production by water gas shift reaction and preferential CO oxidation, oxidation of hydrocarbons, CO oxidation. She is co-author of more than 70 scientific papers mostly published in international journals and 4 Bulgarian patents. These papers have received more than 1500 citations. The results of her research activities have been presented at about 100 national and international conferences. Dr. Tabakova was coordinator of joint research projects with University of Turin, Italy and Institute of Chemical Engineering and High Temperature Processes in Patras, Greece. She is involved in numerous projects funded by COST program, NATO Collaborative linkage grants, and joint research programs with researchers from Poland, Belgium, Romania, China, as well as projects supported by Bulgarian National Science Fund. Dr. Tabakova acts as reviewer for several international journals (Journal of Catalysis, Applied Catalysis A:General, Applied Catalysis B:Environmental, Catalysis Today, Catalysis Communications, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, etc) and as expert in the evaluation of EU proposals.
