A LDH confined Au nano-catalyst has been successfully synthesized through a flocculation and in-situ reduction method. In this composite, Au nano-colloids were evenly dispersed in LDH gallery and its particle size was less than 1 nm. The highly dispersed gold nano-colloids in layered Mg¨DAl double hydroxide support were found to be a high performance catalyst for CO lower temperature oxidation. The catalytic experiments indicated that the CO oxidation reaction could be initiated at lower than ? 30 ¡ãC and almost a 100 % conversion can be achieved at 0 ¡ãC. The catalyst stability studies show that after 12 h reaction at 0 ¡ãC; the CO conversion has not any apparent decrease.
