Porous Ag–Fe2O3 nanocomposites used as catalysts for CO oxidation.
Ag loading have an effect on the catalytic CO oxidation activity.
Ag ions dispersed inside Fe2O3 mesopores and on the support surface.
Interaction between Fe2O3 and Ag as well as porosity of catalysts play important role.
7Ag–Fe catalyst can be reused at least five cycles without loss of activity.
