Onset of CO oxidation activity, and 50% (100%) CO2 formation occurs at room temperature (RT), and 77 (120)degrees C, respectively, with Cu0.1Ce0.85Zr0.05O2. A small amount of gold on Cu0.1Ce0.85Zr0.05O2 induces the sustainable oxidation catalysis around RT. Onset of copper reduction temperature decreases from 110 degrees C on Cu0.1Ce0.85Zr0.05O2 to 48 degrees C with Au/Cu0.1Ce0.85Zr0.05O2, highlighting the direct interaction between Cu and Au through a Cu-Au interface. Au particles with a (00 1) facet deposit on an oxygen-deficient site of (111) facet of CeO2-ZrO2. Any decrease in surface Cu-content with increasing Au-content further supports the Au-Cu-Ce/Zr interface interactions. Nanointerfaces of Au clusters on Cu next to oxygen-deficient sites of CeO2-ZrO2 facilitate all the elementary steps of the CO + O-2 reaction to occur in close proximity at ambient conditions.</p>10acarbon monoxide10aGold10aheterogeneous catalysis10aOxidation10aredox1 aGnanakumar, Edwin, S.1 aNaik, Jarpla, Madhusudha1 aManikandan, Marimuthu1 aRaja, Thirumalaiswamy1 aGopinath, Chinnakonda, S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/role-nanointerfaces-cu-and-cu-plus-au-based-near-ambient-temperature-co-oxidation-0
