description Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) TiO<sub>2</sub>-supported AuPd alloy (<i>x</i>Au<i><sub>y</sub></i>Pd/3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub> (<i>x</i> = 0.87&#8315;0.91 wt%; <i>y</i> = 0.51&#8315;1.86)) catalysts for trichloroethylene (TCE) oxidation were prepared using the polymethyl methacrylate-templating and polyvinyl alcohol-protected reduction methods. The as-prepared materials possessed a good-quality 3DOM structure and a surface area of 49&#8315;53 m<sup>2</sup>/g. The noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) with a size of 3&#8315;4 nm were uniformly dispersed on the surface of 3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub>. The 0.91Au<sub>0.51</sub>Pd/3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub> sample showed the highest catalytic activity with the temperature at a TCE conversion of 90% being 400 &#176;C at a space velocity of 20,000 mL/(g h). Furthermore, the 0.91Au<sub>0.51</sub>Pd/3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub> sample possessed better catalytic stability and moisture-resistant ability than the supported Au or Pd sample. The partial deactivation induced by H<sub>2</sub>O introduction of 0.91Au<sub>0.51</sub>Pd/3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub> was reversible, while that induced by CO<sub>2</sub> addition was irreversible. No significant influence on TCE conversion was observed after introduction of 100 ppm HCl to the reaction system over 0.91Au<sub>0.51</sub>Pd/3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub>. The lowest apparent activation energy (51.7 kJ/mol) was obtained over the 0.91Au<sub>0.51</sub>Pd/3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub> sample. The doping of Au to Pd changed the TCE oxidation pathway, thus reducing formation of perchloroethylene. It is concluded that the high adsorbed oxygen species concentration, good low-temperature reducibility, and strong interaction between AuPd NPs and 3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub> as well as more amount of strong acid sites were responsible for the good catalytic activity, stability, and water- and HCl-resistant ability of 0.91Au<sub>0.51</sub>Pd/3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub>. We believe that 0.91Au<sub>0.51</sub>Pd/3DOM TiO<sub>2</sub> may be a promising catalyst for the oxidative elimination of chlorine-containing volatile organics.
