The catalytic performance of biosynthesized Ag/α-Al2O3 catalysts was strongly affected by silver precursors. Ag catalyst prepared from silver–ethylenediamine complex showed a better activity for ethylene epoxidation than catalysts from AgNO3 and silver–ammonia complex. The influence of silver precursors on the structure, surface state, oxidation property of the catalysts was investigated.
