Abstract
Supported copper species are well-known for their remarkable catalytic properties across numerous reactions. However, the current preparation methods pose challenges for large-scale production. In this study, we present a cost-effective method for the facile preparation of a series of copper-silicon composites using Cu3Si@Si particles as precursors. We evaluate the catalytic properties of these composites in the conversion of 4-nitrophenol to 4-amionphenol. Notably, the Cu@SiOx/Si composite exhibits exceptional catalytic performance, attributed to the synergy effect between Cu and Si, and the formation of a metastable Si-H2 complex that enhances the reaction kinetics. This research introduces a novel approach for creating efficient and stable catalysts for hydrogenation reactions.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 251:118567. [PMID: 38432568 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
There has been a growing interest in the design and development of graphene based composite materials with superior performances for environmental catalytic applications. But in most of the studies the synthesis conditions require elevated temperatures and expensive working setups (high temperature furnaces, autoclaves, inert atmosphere conditions etc.). In this reported work, the nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide supported CuCo2O4 (NG/CuCo2O4) composites were prepared through a simple one pot synthesis method under mild conditions (∼95 °C and air atmosphere) and successfully employed as catalysts for the reduction of toxic 4-nitrophenol (4NP). The characterization results revealed the successful formation of NG/CuCo2O4 composites with a possible charge transfer interaction between nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide support of CuCo2O4. The NG/CuCo2O4 hybrids exhibited robust catalytic activity in 4NP reduction with an activity factor of 261.5 min-1 g-1. A 4NP conversion percentage which is as high as 99.5% was achieved within 11 min using the NG/CuCo2O4 catalyst. The detailed kinetic analysis confirmed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model for the NG/CuCo2O4 catalysed 4NP reduction. The nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide support modified the electronic levels of CuCo2O4 nanoparticles through electron transfer interactions and enhanced the catalytic activity of CuCo2O4 in NG/CuCo2O4 through improved adsorption of reactant ions and effective generation of active hydrogen species. The good reusability and stability along with profound activity of NG/CuCo2O4 catalyst makes it a promising material for wide scale catalytic applications.

Abstract
The efficiency of a catalytic process is assessed based on conversion, yield, and time effectiveness. However, these parameters are insufficient for evaluating environmentally sustainable research. As the world is urged to shift towards green catalysis, additional factors such as reaction media, raw material availability, sustainability, waste minimization and catalyst biosafety, need to be considered to accurately determine the efficacy and sustainability of the process. By combining the high porosity and versatility of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and the activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), efficient, cyclable and biosafe composite catalysts can be achieved. Thus, a composite based on AuNPs and the nanometric flexible porous iron(III) aminoterephthalate MIL-88B-NH2 was successfully synthesized and fully characterized. This nanocomposite was tested as catalyst in the reduction of nitroarenes, which were identified as anthropogenic water pollutants, reaching cyclable high conversion rates at short times for different nitroarenes. Both synthesis and catalytic reactions were performed using green conditions, and even further tested in a time-optimizing one-pot synthesis and catalysis experiment. The sustainability and environmental impact of the catalytic conditions were assessed by green metrics. Thus, this study provides an easily implementable synthesis, and efficient catalysis, while minimizing the environmental and health impact of the process.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) possess attractive electronic, optical, and catalytic properties, enabling many potential applications. Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAAm) is a temperature-responsive polymer that changes its hydrophilicity upon a slight temperature change, and combining PNIPAAm with AuNPs allows us to modulate the properties of AuNPs by temperature. In a previous study, we proposed a simpler method for designing PNIPAAm-AuNP hybrid microgels, which used an AuNP monomer with polymerizable groups. The size of AuNPs is the most important factor influencing their catalytic performance, and numerous studies have emphasized the importance of controlling the size of AuNPs by adjusting their stabilizer concentration. This paper focuses on the effect of AuNP size on the catalytic activity of PNIPAAm-AuNP hybrid microgels prepared via the copolymerization of N-isopropyl acrylamide and AuNP monomers with different AuNP sizes. To quantitatively evaluate the catalytic activity of the hybrid microgels, we monitored the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol using the hybrid microgels with various AuNP sizes. While the hybrid microgels with an AuNP size of 13.0 nm exhibited the highest reaction rate and the apparent reaction rate constant (kapp) of 24.2 × 10-3 s-1, those of 35.9 nm exhibited a small kapp of 1.3 × 10-3 s-1. Thus, the catalytic activity of the PNIPAAm-AuNP hybrid microgel was strongly influenced by the AuNP size. The hybrid microgels with various AuNP sizes enabled the reversibly temperature-responsive on-off regulation of the reduction reaction.

Abstract
Superatomic constructs have been identified as a critical component of future technologies. The isolation of coinage metal superatoms relies on partially reducing metallic frameworks to accommodate the mixed valent state required to generate a superatom. Controlling this reduction requires careful consideration in reducing the agent, temperature, and the ligand that directs the self-assembly process. Hydride-based reducing agents dominate the synthetic wet chemical routes to coinage metal clusters. However, within this category, a unique subset of superatoms that retain a hydride/s within the nanocluster post-reduction have emerged. These stable constructs have only recently been characterized in the solid state and have highly unique structural features and properties. The difficulty in identifying the position of hydrides in electron-rich metallic constructs requires the combination and correlation of several analytical methods, including ESI-MS, NMR, SCXRD, and DFT. This text highlights the importance of NMR in detecting hydride environments in these superatomic systems. Added to the complexity of these systems is the dual nature of the hydride, which can act as metallic hydrogen in some cases, resulting in entirely different physical properties. This review includes all hydride-doped superatomic nanoclusters emphasizing synthesis, structure, and catalytic potential.

Abstract
Exploring the reaction mechanism and the role of a catalyst in the conversion of pollutants to value-added products is vital for sustainable development. Herein, a polyvinylpyrrolidone-assisted liquid-phase reflux strategy was utilized to synthesize anisotropic 1D-2D Bi2S3 nanostructures. The as-synthesized nanostructures were used as catalysts in batch experiments for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction and they exhibited an apparent rate constant (kapp), turnover frequency (TOF), and activation energy (Ea) of 0.441 min-1, 1.543 h-1 and 26.13 kJ mol-1, respectively. Also, the effects of catalyst dosage, NaBH4 amount, 4-NP concentration, solvents, pH, and common ions were evaluated. Isotope labeling and kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) confirm that water is the proton source in 4-NP reduction. Electrochemical studies revealed that the nanostructured 1D-2D Bi2S3 enables the dissociation of BH4- into active absorbed and adsorbed hydrogen () species and assists in the catalytic reduction of 4-NP. This study offers a new insight into designing an efficient nanostructured 1D-2D Bi2S3 catalyst for 4-nitrophenol reduction.

Abstract
The reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) into 4-aminophenol (4-AP) is an important reaction in both chemical manufacturing and environmental protection. The design of a highly active, multifunctional and reusable catalyst for efficient 4-NP decontamination/valorization is therefore crucial to bring in economic and societal benefits. Herein, we achieve an efficient plasmonic-photothermal catalyst of Pd nanoparticles by growing them on graphene-polyelectrolytes self-assembly nanolayers via an in situ green reduction approach using polyelectrolyte as the reductant. The as-fabricated catalyst shows high catalytic behaviors and good stability (maintained over 92.5 % conversion efficiency after ten successive cycles) for 4-NP reduction under ultra-low catalyst dose. The rate constant and turnover frequency were calculated at 0.197 min-1 and 7.79 mmol g-1 min-1, respectively, which were much higher than those of most reported catalysts. Moreover, the as-prepared catalyst exhibited excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of ∼77 % and boosted 4-NP reduction by ∼2-fold under near-infrared irradiation (NIR). This study provides valuable insights into the design of greener catalytic materials and facilitates the development of multifunctional plasmonic-photothermal catalysts for diverse environmental, chemical, and energy applications using NIR.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of nanoporous Cu/Ag bimetallic triangular nanoprisms (BTNPs) using a galvanic replacement method. Based on ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, the structure of Cu/Ag BTNPs was characterized. The prepared Cu/Ag BTNPs exhibited excellent catalytic activity and good cycling stability for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) due to the synergistic effect between Cu and Ag elements. The kinetic rate constant (k) and turnover frequency (TOF) values reached 331 × 10-3 s-1 and 500 × 10-3 s-1, respectively, which were higher than those of previously reported Cu, Ag, Au, Cu/Ag or Cu/Au-based catalysts. We hope that the development of promising routes for high-quality BTNPs can broaden their applications in catalysis and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers were used to support palladium nanocubes, resulting in a highly active, stable, and reusable catalyst. The system proposed herein offers significant advantages compared to catalysts in the form of nanoparticles suspension. The porous, solvent permeable structure of the nanofiber mat ensures uniform and stable time distribution of palladium nanoparticles; preventing coalescence and allowing multiple use of the catalyst. The proposed cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofiber mat loaded with Pd nanocubes during the nanofiber preparation step is a macroscopic structure of intrinsically nanostructural character of the catalyst that can be easily transferred between different solutions without compromising its effectiveness in consecutive cycles. Thus, obtained system was characterized with high catalytic activity as tested on a model example of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction by NaBH4 to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). It is shown that loading nanofibers with Pd nanocubes during electrospinning resulted in a significantly more stable system compared to surface modification of obtained nanofibers with nanocube suspension.

Abstract
In this study, we introduce an economically viable and scalable process for developing a novel covalent organic framework (COF), which is a cross-linked polymer. The resulting material, TzTFB-COF, is successfully functionalized with silver and copper nanoparticles, which show high adequacy in the degradation of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). For the synthesis of TzTFB-COF, s-tetrazine diamine (Tz) and 1,3,5-triformylbenzene (TFB) are chosen as building blocks, which exhibit a high density of nitrogen-containing sites. TzTFB-COF shows good chemical and thermal stability (>300 °C). For functionalization of TzTFB-COF with silver and copper nanoparticles, a solution infiltration technique is used. The composite materials, i.e., Ag@TzTFB-COF and Cu@TzTFB-COF, have been characterized using various spectroscopic and analytical techniques, which show high activity, high selectivity, and excellent chemical and thermal stability up to 350 °C. The silver and copper contents of Ag@TzTFB-COF and Cu@TzTFB-COF are determined to be 9.6 and 12.4 wt % by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). The catalytic efficiency of the synthesized Ag@TzTFB-COF and Cu@TzTFB-COF materials is assessed in the context of catalyzing the hydrogenation of NACs. Experimental results reveal a remarkable catalytic performance when conducted in an aqueous medium, and notably, the materials demonstrate substantial potential for reusability across multiple catalytic cycles. The determined parameters for the catalytic hydrogenation reaction, i.e., the rate constants and Gibbs free energies, are found to be 0.0185 s-1 and 9.878 kJ/mol for Ag@TzTFB-COF and 0.0219 s-1 and 9.615 kJ/mol for Cu@TzTFB-COF. Thus, the catalytic reaction exhibits characteristics of endothermic, endergonic, and nonspontaneous nature.

Abstract
In the contemporary context, executing light-oxidant- and reductant-driven reactions in solution-phase processes remains challenging mainly due to the lack of general tools for understanding the reactive potential of nano-functional catalysts. In this study, dual-active nanometals (Au and Cu doped with Au) capped within soy lecithin (SL), were developed and characterized, combining flexibility with the catalytic advantages and stability of liquid-phase catalysts. The as-synthesized SL-Au (LG) and SL-Au-Cu (LGC) catalysts were efficiently degraded rhodamine B (RB, 100%) in the presence of H2O2 under light irradiation (350 W lamp) at wide pH range (3-7) within 4.5 h and p-nitrophenol (p-NP, >90% degradation at pH 7) in the presence of NaBH4 under normal stirring with slower kinetics (∼72 h). RB degradation followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a higher r2, and p-NP degradation followed first-order kinetics. The active sites embedded within the structural order of SL arrangement displayed elevated catalytic activity, which was further enhanced by the movement of intermediate/excited states and charged elements within the metal suspended in the phospholipid (LG and LGC). The self-regulating tunability of the physicochemical characteristics of these catalysts provides a convenient and generalizable platform for the transformation of modern dual-active (redox) catalysts into dynamic homogeneous equivalents.

Abstract
The large surface area of metallic nanoparticles provides them with particular optical, chemical, and biological properties, accordingly enabling their use in a wide array of applications. In this regard, facile and fast synthetic approaches are desirable for ready-to-use functional materials. Following early investigations focused on the direct synthesis of polymer-coated gold nanoparticles, we herein demonstrate that such a strategy can be used to manufacture different types of d-block transition-metal nanoparticles via a one-pot method in aqueous media and mild temperature conditions. Gold (Au3+), palladium (Pd2+), and silver (Ag+) ions could be reduced using only polyethylenimine (PEI) or PEI derivatives acting simultaneously as a reducing and stabilizing agent and without the aid of any other external agent. The process gave rise, for instance, to Pd urchin-like nanostructures with a large surface area which confers to them outstanding catalytic performance compared to AuNPs and AgNPs produced using the same strategy. The polymer-stabilized AgNPs were demonstrated to be biocide against a variety of microorganisms, although AuNPs and PdNPs do not hold such an attribute at least in the probed concentration range. These findings may provide significant advances toward the practical, facile, and ready-to-use manufacturing of transition-metal nanoparticles for a myriad of applications.

Abstract
Gold nanostructures were synthesized by etching away gold from heat-treated mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods (AuNR@mSiO2), providing an example of top-down modification of nanostructures made using bottom-up methodology. Twelve different types of nanostructures were made using this bottom-up-then-top-down synthesis (BUTTONS), of which the etching of the same starting nanomaterial of AuNR@mSiO2 was found to be controlled by how AuNR@mSiO2 were heat treated, the etchant concentration, and etching time. When the heat treatment occurred in smooth moving solutions in round-bottomed flasks, red-shifted longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) was observed, on the order of 10-30 min, indicating increased aspect ratios of the gold nanostructures inside the mesoporous silica shells. When the heat treatment occurred in turbulent solutions in scintillation vials, a blue shift of the LSPR was obtained within a few minutes or less, resulting from reduced aspect ratios of the rods in the shells. The influence of the shape of the glassware, which may impact the flow patterns of the solution, on the heat treatment was investigated. One possible explanation is that the flow patterns affect the location of opened pores in the mesoporous shells, with the smooth flow of solution mainly removing CTAB surfactants from the pores along the cylindrical body of mSiO2, therefore increasing the aspect ratios after etching, and the turbulent solutions removing more surfactants from the pores of the two ends or tips of the silica shells, hence decreasing the aspect ratios after etching. These new stable gold nanostructures in silica shells, bare and without surfactant protection, may possess unique chemical properties and capabilities. Catalysis using heat-treated nanomaterials was studied as an example of potential applications of these nanostructures.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of nanomaterials with controllable morphology and size is of critical importance to achieve excellent catalytic performance in heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanostructures with different morphologies (nanoplates, microflowers, nanorods and nanocubes) were successfully constructed in order to establish the morphology-property-performance relationship of the catalysts. The morphology and structure of the nanostructured Co3O4 were characterized by various techniques, and the catalytic performance of the as-prepared nanostructures was studied by monitoring the reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol in the presence of excess NaBH4. The catalytic performance was found to be strongly dependent on their morphologies. The experimental results show that the pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants for Co3O4 nanostructures with various shapes are, respectively, 1.49 min-1 (nanoplates), 1.40 min-1 (microflowers), 0.78 min-1 (nanorods) and 0.23 min-1 (nanocubes). The Co3O4 nanoplates exhibited the highest catalytic activity among the four nanostructures, due to their largest specific surface area, relatively high total pore volume, best redox properties and abundance of defect sites. The established correlation between morphology, property and catalytic performance in this work will offer valuable insight into the design and application of nanostructured Co3O4 as a potential non-noble metal catalyst for p-nitrophenol reduction.

Abstract
In this article, binary oxide ZnCo2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed on reduced graphene oxide surface by simple reflux condensation method. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized nanocomposite were computed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The average size of ZnCo2O4 NPs is found to be about 9 nm. The synthesized nanocomposite was found to be an extremely efficient catalyst for reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to produce 4-aminophenol (4-AP) and it is exhibited that about 98% 4-nitrophenol can be reduced in only 20 min. The nanocomposite behaves as supercapacitor due to possessing the specific capacitance value up to 609 F/g and excellent capacitance retention over 1000 cycles. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis has been conducted to evaluate surface area and pore size of the synthesized material. The antimicrobial activity of this nanocomposite was performed against bacterial strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and it is noticed to be a good antimicrobial agent against different bacterial strains.

Abstract
Polysaccharide/silica hybrid microcapsules were prepared using ionic gelation followed by spray-drying. Chitosan and alginate were used as biopolymer matrices, and in situ prepared silica was used as a structuring additive. The prepared microparticles were used in two very different applications: the encapsulation of hydrophilic molecules, and as a support for palladium nanoparticles used as catalysts for a model organic reaction, namely the reduction of p-nitrophenol by sodium borhydride. In the first application, erioglaucine disodium salt, taken as a model hydrophilic substance, was encapsulated in situ during the preparation of the microparticles. The results indicate that the presence of silica nanostructures, integrated within the polymer matrix, affect the morphology and the stability of the particles, retarding the release of the encapsulated substance. In the second application, chloropalladate was complexed on the surface of chitosan microparticles, and palladium(II) was subsequently reduced to palladium(0) to obtain heterogeneous catalysts with an excellent performance.

Abstract
Structural transformation of metal nanoclusters (NCs) is of great ongoing interest regarding their synthesis, stability, and reactivity. Although sporadic examples of cluster transformations have been reported, neither the underlying transformation mechanism nor the intermediates are unambiguous. Herein, we have synthesized a flexible 54-nuclei silver cluster (Ag54) by combining soft (tBuC≡C-) and hard (nPrCOO-) ligands. The existence of weakly coordinated nPrCOO- enhances the reactivity of Ag54, thus facilitating the dicarboxylic acid to induce structural transformation. X-ray structural analyses reveal that Ag54 transforms to Ag28 cluster-based 2D networks (Ag28a and Ag28b) induced by H2suc (succinic acid) and H2glu (glutaric acid), whereas with H2pda (2,2'-(1,2-phenylene)diacetic acid), a discrete Ag28 cluster (Ag28c) is isolated. The key intermediate Ag17 that emerges during the self-dissociation of Ag54 was isolated by using cryogenic recrystallization and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The "tandem transformation" mechanism for the structure evolution from Ag54 to Ag28a is established by time-dependent electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and UV-vis spectroscopy. In addition, the catalytic activity in the 4-nitrophenol reduction follows the sequence Ag28c > Ag28b > Ag28a > Ag54 due to more bare silver sites on the surface of the Ag28 cluster unit. Our findings not only open new avenues to the synthesis of silver NCs but also shed light on a better understanding of the structural transformation mechanism from one cluster to another or cluster-based metal-organic networks induced by dicarboxylates.

Abstract
Assessing competitive environmental catalytic reduction processes via NaBH4 is essential, as BH4- is both an energy carrier (as H2) and a reducing agent. A comprehensive catalytic study of the competition between the borohydride hydrolysis reaction (BHR, releasing H2) and 4-nitrophenol reduction via BH4- on M0- and M/M' (alloy)-nanoparticle catalysts is reported. The results reveal an inverse correlation between the catalytic efficiency for BH4- hydrolysis and 4-nitrophenol reduction, indicating that catalysts performing well in one process exhibit lower activity in the other. Plausible catalytic mechanisms are discussed, focusing on the impact of reaction products such as 4-aminophenol and borate on the rate and yield of BH4- hydrolysis. The investigated catalysts were Ag0, Au0, Pt0, and Ag/Pt-alloy nanoparticles synthesized without any added stabilizer. Notably, the observed rate constants for the 4-nitrophenol reduction on Ag0, Ag-Pt (9:1), and Au0 are significantly higher than the corresponding rate constants for BH4- hydrolysis, suggesting that most reductions do not proceed through surface-adsorbed hydrogen atoms, as observed for Pt0 nanoparticles. This research emphasizes the conflicting nature of BH4- hydrolysis and reduction processes, provides insights for designing improved catalysts for competitive reactions, and sheds light on the catalyst properties required for each specific process.

Abstract
The successful development of efficient and stable catalysts for 4-NP reduction reactions is beneficial to the environment and ecology. Fe3O4@Pt exhibits excellent catalytic performance for 4-NP reduction reaction due to the synergistic effect between Fe and Pt. But its structure and catalytic performance are extremely unstable. Here, we utilized the small-scale organic compound 2-hydroxyethylamine as surfactant to construct a stable composite nanomaterial. Then investigated the influence of monochromatic light (650 nm, 808 nm and 980 nm) and temperature on the kinetics of 4-NP reduction reaction by 2-hydroxyethylamine stabilized Fe3O4@Pt. The results indicate that both temperature and monochromatic light radiation can affect kinetic regulation. Increasing temperature can promote the catalytic rate, while monochromatic light radiation can induce agglomeration and inhibit the catalytic rate. This study opens up a new way for developing and regulating catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis reactions.

Abstract
Developing efficient and sensitive MOF-based luminescence sensors for bioactive molecule detection is of great significance and remains a challenge. Benefiting from favorable chemical and thermal stability, as well as excellent luminescence performance, a porous Zn(II)Ho(III) heterometallic-organic framework (ZnHoMOF) was selected here as a bifunctional luminescence sensor for the early diagnosis of a toluene exposure biomarker of hippuric acid (HA) through "turn-on" luminescence enhancing response and the daily monitoring of NFT/NFZ antibiotics through "turn-off" quenching effects in aqueous media with high sensitivity, acceptable selectivity, good anti-interference, exceptional recyclability performance, and low detection limits (LODs) of 0.7 ppm for HA, 0.04 ppm for NFT, and 0.05 ppm for NFZ. Moreover, the developed sensor was employed to quantify HA in diluted urine samples and NFT/NFZ in natural river water with satisfactory results. In addition, the sensing mechanisms of ZnHoMOF as a dual-response chemosensor in efficient detection of HA and NFT/NFZ antibiotics were conducted from the view of photo-induced electron transfer (PET), as well as inner filter effects (IFEs), with the help of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and spectral overlap experiments.

This work reports on the synthesis of nine materials containing Cu, Ag, Au, and Ag/Cu nanoparticles (NPs) deposited on magnetite particles coated with polydopamine (PDA). Ag NPs were deposited on two PDA@Fe3O4 supports differing in the thickness of the PDA film. The film thickness was adjusted to impart a textural porosity to the material. During synthesis, Ag(I) was reduced with ascorbic acid (HA), photochemically, or with NaBH4, whereas Au(III), with HA, with the PDA cathecol groups, or NaBH4. For the material characterization, TGA, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, STEM-HAADF, and DLS were used. The catalytic activity towards reduction of 4-, 3- and 2-nitrophenol was tested and correlated with the synthesis method, film thickness, metal particle size and NO2 group position. An evaluation of the recyclability of the materials was carried out. In general, the catalysts prepared by using soft reducing agents and/or thin PDA films were the most active, while the materials reduced with NaBH4 remained unchanged longer in the reactor. The activity varied in the direction Au > Ag > Cu. However, the Ag-based materials showed a higher recyclability than those based on gold. It is worth noting that the Cu-containing catalyst, the most environmentally friendly, was as active as the best Ag-based catalyst.

Abstract
Biopolymer-derived hydrogels with low-cost and sustainable features have been considered as fascinating supported materials for metal nanoparticles. Cellulose, as the most abundant biopolymer, is a renewable raw material to prepare biopolymer-derived hydrogels for catalysis. Here, a cellulose-based hydrogel is designed to load bimetallic (AuAg, AuPd and AgPd) nanoparticles. 4-Nitrophenol reduction and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions are selected to evaluate and compare the catalytic performance of the resulting bimetallic nanoparticle-loaded cellulose-based composite hydrogels. The bimetallic nanocomposite hydrogels are easy to be recycled over 10 times during the catalytic experiments and possess good applicability and generality for various substrates. The catalytic activity of bimetallic nanocomposite hydrogels was compared with recent literatures. In addition, the possible catalytic mechanism is also proposed. This work is expected to give a new insight for designing and preparing bimetallic nanoparticle-based cellulose hydrogels and proves its applicability and prospect in the catalytic field.

Abstract
Gold nanozymes (GNZs) have been widely used in biosensing and bioassay due to their interesting catalytic activities that enable the substitution of natural enzyme. This review explains different catalytic activities of GNZs that can be achieved by applying different modifications to their surface. The role of Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in mimicking oxidoreductase, helicase, phosphatase were introduced. Moreover, the effect of surface properties and modifications on each catalytic activity was thoroughly discussed. The application of GNZs in biosensing and bioassay was classified in five categories based on the combination of the enzyme like activities and enhancing/inhibition of the catalytic activities in presence of the target analyte/s that is realized by proper surface modification engineering. These categories include catalytic activity enhancer, reversible catalytic activity inhibitor, binding selectivity enhancer, agglomeration base, and multienzyme like activity, which are explained and exemplified in this review. It also gives examples of those modifications that enable the application of GNZs for in vivo biosensing and bioassays.

Abstract
The hybrid vesicle AuNP@LCCV, in which a large number of AuNPs with an average size of about 2.8 nm were densely and uniformly distributed in an isolated state throughout the corona of the unusual polymer vesicle, was prepared via in situ reduction of Au3+ ions, which were encapsulated in advance in the unique polymer vesicle (LCCV) consisting of a hydrophobic membrane of poly(2-phenyl-2-oxazoline) and a hydrophilic loop-cluster corona of polyethyleneimine. The vesicle was formed via self-assembly from a comb-like block copolymer in which a polystyrenic main chain was grafted densely with diblock polyethyleneimine-b-poly(2-phenyl-2-oxazoline) and acted as a reactor for the reduction of Au3+. The hybrid vesicle AuNP@LCCV showed powerful catalytic ability in the reduction of nitrophenols (NPs). Interestingly, the reduction reactions of NPs showed a remarkably long induction time, which could be shortened dramatically from 60 min to 1-2 min by greatly increasing the concentration of NaBH4. It is revealed that the oxygen adsorbed on the AuNPs significantly inhibited the reduction, causing the induction time. Once the oxygen is chemically cleaned from the surface of the AuNPs, the reduction of 4-NP proceeds gradually for a while and then completes suddenly. The reduction mechanism accompanying the oxygen-dependent induction time is proposed from the view of the strong oxygen affinity of the catalyst AuNP@LCCV.

Abstract
Third-generation solar cells, including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs), have been associated with low-cost material requirements, simple fabrication processes, and mechanical robustness. Hence, counter electrodes (CEs) are a critical component for the functionality of these solar cells. Although platinum (Pt)-based CEs have been dominant in CE fabrication, they are costly and have limited market availability. Therefore, it is important to find alternative materials to overcome these issues. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have demonstrated capabilities as a more cost-effective alternative to Pt materials. This advantage has been attributed to their strong electrocatalytic activity, excellent thermal stability, tunability of bandgap energies, and variable crystalline morphologies. In this study, a comprehensive review of the major components and working principles of the DSSC and QDSSC are presented. In developing CEs for DSSCs and QDSSCs, various TMS materials synthesized through several techniques are thoroughly reviewed. The performance efficiencies of DSSCs and QDSSCs resulting from TMS-based CEs are subjected to in-depth comparative analysis with Pt-based CEs. Thus, the power conversion efficiency (PCE), fill factor (FF), short circuit current density (Jsc) and open circuit voltage (Voc) are investigated. Based on this review, the PCEs for DSSCs and QDSSCs are found to range from 5.37 to 9.80% (I-/I3- redox couple electrolyte) and 1.62 to 6.70% (S-2/Sx- electrolyte). This review seeks to navigate the future direction of TMS-based CEs towards the performance efficiency improvement of DSSCs and QDSSCs in the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner.

Abstract
In recent years, photoelectrocatalysis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) has received considerable attention due to their potential to improve catalytic efficiency. Herein, ultra-small Au NPs were successfully synthesized in a single pot using olea europea leaf extract as a green reducing agent for the degradation of 4-nitrophenol. The TEM images showed uniform distribution and spherical shape of Au NPs with an average diameter of 5 nm. Taking advantage of the ability of Au nanoparticles to absorb visible and near-infrared light, 4-nitrophenol can be successfully reduced in the presence of NaBH4. Additionally, the electrochemical activity of the fabricated Au photocathode was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry in the dark and at VIS-NIR light irradiation. This showed an increased photocurrent density of 27 mA cm-2 with an onset potential of -0.71 V. This indicates that the Au photocathode is highly active at VIS-NIR light. Interestingly, the Au photocathode showed a higher current density of 37 mA cm-2 with an onset potential of -0.6 V in the presence of 4-nitrophenol during VIS-NIR irradiation, indicating that 4-nitrophenol was efficiently reduced by the photocathode. The Au photocathode completely reduced 4-nitrophenol in the wastewater within 35 min. Recyclability studies showed that the Au NPs photocathode exhibited higher stability over multiple cycles, confirming the ability of the electrode to treat wastewater over a longer period of time. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the photoelectrochemical (PEC) process in reducing organic compounds in wastewater.

Abstract
MoS2 nanoflowers (NFs) obtained through a hydrothermal approach were used as the substrate for the deposition of tiny spherical bimetallic AuAg or monometallic Au nanoparticles (NPs), leading to novel photothermal-assisted catalysts with different hybrid nanostructures and showing improved catalytic performance under NIR laser irradiation. The catalytic reduction of pollutant 4-nitrophenol (4-NF) to the valuable product 4-aminophenol (4-AF) was evaluated. The hydrothermal synthesis of MoS2 NFs provides a material with a broad absorption in the Vis-NIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The in situ grafting of alloyed AuAg and Au NPs of very small size (2.0-2.5 nm) was possible through the decomposition of organometallic complexes [Au2Ag2(C6F5)4(OEt2)2]n and [Au(C6F5)(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) using triisopropilsilane as reducing agent, leading to nanohybrids 1-4. The new nanohybrid materials display photothermal properties arising from NIR light absorption of the MoS2 NFs component. The AuAg-MoS2 nanohybrid 2 showed excellent photothermal-assisted catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-NF, which is better than that of the monometallic Au-MoS2 nanohybrid 4. The obtained nanohybrids were characterised by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), High Angle Annular Dark Field-Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (HAADF-STEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Herein, polymeric cryogels containing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) were synthesized by cryo-polymerization at subzero temperature. The synthesized cryogels were loaded with silver and palladium nanoparticles by the chemical reduction method at room temperature using the reducing agent NaBH4. Moreover, for comparison with cryogels, pure poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel and its silver hybrid were also prepared by the conventional method at room temperature. The chemical structure and functional group analysis of the pure cryogels was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The synthesis of hybrid cryogels was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction technique and energy dispersive X-ray. The pore size and surface morphology of the pure cryogels, their respective hybrid cryogels and of conventional hydrogels were studied by using the scanning electron microscopy technique. The hybrid cryogels were successfully used as a catalyst for the degradation of methyl orange dye. The degradation performance of the hybrid cryogels was much better than its counterpart hybrid hydrogel for methyl orange dye. The effect of temperature and amount of catalyst on catalytic performance was studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. The reduction follows pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. In addition, the antibacterial activities of these cryogels were evaluated against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, ATCC: 2593) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, ATCC: 25922). Both hybrid cryogels have shown much better antibacterial activity for these two strains of bacteria compared to pure cryogels. The results indicate that these cryogels are potential candidates for water purification systems as well as biomedical applications.

GLAD-based nanostructures are emerging platforms with broad sensing applications due to their high sensitivity, enhanced optical and catalytic properties, periodicity, and controlled morphology. GLAD-fabricated nanochips and substrates for chemical and biosensing applications are replacing conventionally used nanomaterials due to their broad scope, ease of fabrication, controlled growth parameters, and hence, sensing abilities. This review focuses on recent advances in the diverse nanostructures fabricated via GLAD and their applications in the biomedical field. The effects of morphology and deposition conditions on GLAD structures, their biosensing capability, and the use of these nanostructures for various biosensing applications such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and colorimetric- and wettability-based bio-detection will be discussed in detail. GLAD has also found diverse applications in the case of molecular imaging techniques such as fluorescence, super-resolution, and photoacoustic imaging. In addition, some in vivo applications, such as drug delivery, have been discussed. Furthermore, we will also provide an overview of the status of GLAD technology as well as future challenges associated with GLAD-based nanostructures in the mentioned areas.

Abstract
Titanium-nickel alloy is an attractive material due to its unique properties of shape memory effect, superior elasticity, and biocompatibility. Generally, Ti-Ni alloy powders are prepared from pure elemental powders of Ti and Ni as starting materials, but it is an energy-intensive process to obtain pure titanium. In this study, intermetallic compound TiNi powder passivated by TiOx shell was prepared by directly reducing a commercial NiTiO3 using CaH2 reducing agent in a molten LiCl at 650 °C. Analyses by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the powder had a core-shell structure, with the core of TiNi and the shell of TiOx-rich composition with scarce metallic Ni nicely catalyzing hydrogenation reactions with good recyclability and stability.

Abstract
Achieving up-cycling and reusing of silver from the waste X-rays films is currently a huge challenge. Here, we designed a facile method that upcycles Ag+ extract efficiently from waste film into highly dispersed value-added biological Ag/AgO-AgCl nanoparticles (bio-Ag/AgO-AgCl NPs) using Bacillus thuringiensis-secreted extracellular polymeric substance without additional reductants and electron donors. The recovery efficiency of silver exceeded 99.8%. Surprisingly, the bio-Ag/AgO-AgCl NPs can well solve the bottleneck problem of slow Ag catalytic kinetics. When the amount of catalyst was 1.9 mg, the reduction efficiency and reduction rate of 10 ppm methyl orange were 97.9% and 7 min, and that of 30 ppm Congo red were 95.3% and 5 min respectively, which is superior to other chemically synthesized silver-base catalysts. This bioremediation methodology provides an effective and practical technical approach for precious metal remediation and sustainable energy development.

Abstract
Three novel porous transition-metal-organic frameworks (TM-OFs), formulated as [Co3(DCPN)2(μ2-OH2)4(H2O)4](DMF)2 (1), [Cd3(DCPN)2(μ2-OH2)4(H2O)4](DMF)2 (2), and [CdK(DCPN)(DMA)] (3), have been successfully prepared via solvothermal conditions based on a 5-(3',6'-dicarboxylic phenyl) nicotinic carboxylic acid (H3DCPN) ligand. 1 and 2 both have the same porous 3D network structure with the point symbol of {410·614·84}·{45·6}2 based on trinuclear ({Co3} or {Cd3}) clusters, indicating a one-dimensional porous channel, and possess excellent water and thermal stability; 3 also displays a porous 3D network structure with a 4-connected sra topology based on the heteronuclear metal cluster {CdK}. Complex 1 can be used to load Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) via a wetness impregnation strategy to obtain Pd@1. The reduction of nitrophenols (2-NP, 3-NP, 4-NP) by Pd@1 in aqueous solution shows outstanding conversion, excellent rate constants (k), and remarkable cycling stability due to the synergistic effect of complex 1 and Pd NPs. Luminescence sensing tests confirmed that 2 is a reliable multifunctional chemical sensor with high selectivity and sensitivity for low concentrations of Fe3+, Cr2O72-, CPFX, and NFX. Specifically, 2 shows a fluorescence enhancement behavior toward fluoroquinolone antibiotics (CPFX and NFX), which has not been reported previously in the literature. Moreover, the rational mechanism of fluorescence sensing was also systematically investigated by various detection means and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Recovery of noble metals and in situ transforming to functional materials hold great promise in the sustainability of natural resources but remain as a challenge. Herein, the variable chemical microenvironments created by the inorganic-organic hybrid composition of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were exploited to tune the metal-support interactions, thus establishing an integrated strategy for recovering and reducing palladium (Pd). Assisted by sonic waves and alcoholic solvent, selective capture of Pd(II) from a complicated matrix to directly afford Pd nanoparticles (NPs) in MOFs can be achieved in one step within several minutes. Mechanism investigation reveals that the Pd binding site and the energy barriers between ionic and metallic status are sensitive to chemical environments in different frameworks. Thanks to the clean, dispersive, and uniform nature of Pd NPs, Pd@MOFs synthesized from a complicated environment exhibited high catalytic activity toward 4-nitrophenol reduction and Suzuki coupling reactions.

Abstract
The reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol has become a benchmark reaction for testing the efficiency of new catalytic systems. In this study, we use oxidatively modified carbon (OMC) as a structural support to develop a new cost-efficient nickel-based catalytic system. The newly developed material comprises single nickel ions, chemically bound to the oxygen functional groups on the OMC surface. The highly oxidized character of OMC ensures the high lateral density of nickel ions on its surface at relatively low nickel content. We demonstrate excellent catalytic properties of the new material by using it as a stationary phase in a prototype of a continuous flow reactor: the reagent fed into the reactor is p-nitrophenol, and the product, exiting the reactor, is the fully converted p-aminophenol. The catalytic properties of the new catalyst are associated with its specific morphology, and with high lateral density of active sites on the surface. The reaction can be considered as an example of single-atom catalysis. The resulting material can be used as an inexpensive but efficient catalyst for industrial wastewater treatment. The study opens the doors for the synthesis of a new series of catalytic systems comprising transition metal atoms on the OMC structural support.

Abstract
Biogenic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been extensively studied for the catalytic conversion of nitrophenols (NP) into aminophenols and the colorimetric quantification of heavy metal ions in aqueous solutions. However, the high self-agglomeration ability of colloidal nanoparticles is one of the major obstacles hindering their application. In the present study, we offered novel biogenic AuNPs synthesized by a green approach using Cistanche deserticola (CD) extract as a bioreducing agent and stabilized on poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (PSMA). The prepared Au@PSMA nanoparticles were characterized by various techniques (HR-TEM, SEAD, FE-SEM, DLS, TGA, XRD, and FTIR) and studied for two applications: the catalytic reduction of 3-NP by NaBH4 and the sensing detection of Pb2+ ions. The optimal conditions for the synthesis of AuNPs were investigated and established at 60 °C, 20 min, pH of 9, and 0.5 mM Au3+. Morphological studies showed that AuNPs synthesized by CD extract were mostly spherical with a mean diameter of 25 nm, while the size of polymer-integrated AuNPs was more than two-fold larger. Since PSMA acted as a matrix keeping the nanoparticles from coagulation and maintaining the optimal surface area, AuNPs integrated with PSMA showed higher catalytic efficiency with a faster reaction rate and lower activation energy than conventional nanoparticles. Au@PSMA could completely reduce 3-NP within 10 min with a rate constant of 0.127 min-1 and activation energy of 9.96 kJ/mol. The presence of PSMA also improved the stability and recyclability of AuNPs. Used as a sensor, Au@PSMA exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity for Pb2+ ions with a limit of detection of 0.03 μM in the linear range of 0-100 μM. The study results suggested that Au@PSMA could be used as a promising catalyst for the reduction of NP and the colorimetric sensor for detection of Pb2+ ions in aqueous environmental samples.

Abstract
Biological systems consist of hierarchical protein structures, each of which has unique 3D geometries optimized for specific functions. In the past decades, the growth of inorganic materials on specific proteins has attracted considerable attention. However, the use of specific proteins as templates has only been demonstrated in relatively simple organisms, such as viruses, limiting the range of structures that can be used as scaffolds. This study proposes a method for synthesizing metallic structures that resemble the 3D assemblies of specific proteins in mammalian cells and animal tissues. Using 1.4 nm nanogold-conjugated antibodies, specific proteins within cells and ex vivo tissues are labeled, and then the nanogold acts as nucleation sites for growth of metal particles. As proof of concept, various metal particles are grown using microtubules in cells as templates. The metal-containing cells are applied as catalysts and show catalytic stability in liquid-phase reactions due to the rigid support provided by the microtubules. Finally, this method is used to produce metal structures that replicate the specific protein assemblies of neurons in the mouse brain or the extracellular matrices in the mouse kidney and heart. This new biotemplating approach can facilitate the conversion of specific protein structures into metallic forms in ex vivo multicellular organisms.

For that reason, it has become crucial to build a reliable nitrite detection method. In recent years, several nitrite monitoring systems have been proposed. Compared with traditional analytical strategies, the electrochemical approach has a bunch of advantages, including low cost, rapid response, easy operation, simplicity, etc. In this case, noble metal nanomaterials, especially Au-based nanomaterials, have attracted attention in electrode modification because of higher catalytic activity, facile mass transfer, and broad active area for determining nitrite. This review is based on the state-of-the-art, which includes a variety of nanomaterials that have been coupled with AuNPs for the creation of nanocomposites, and the construction as well as development of electrochemical sensors for nitrite detection over the last few years (2016-2022). A background study on synthesizing different morphological AuNPs and nanocomposites has also been introduced. The fabrication methods and sensing capabilities of modified electrodes are given special consideration.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:nano12162863. [PMID: 36014728 PMCID: PMC9415390 DOI: 10.3390/nano12162863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/14/2022] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
Oxide-supported Ag nanoparticles have been widely reported as a good approach to improve the stability and reduce the cost of photocatalysts. In this work, a Ag-nanoparticles-doped porous ZnO photocatalyst was prepared by using metal-organic frameworks as a sacrificial precursor and the catalytic activity over 4-nitrophenol was determined. The Ag-nanoparticles-doped porous ZnO heterostructure was evaluated by UV, XRD, and FETEM, and the catalytic rate constant was calculated by the change in absorbance value at 400 nm of 4-nitrophenol. The photocatalyst with a heterogeneous structure is visible, light-responsive, and beneficial to accelerating the catalytic rate. Under visible light irradiation, the heterostructure showed excellent catalytic activity over 4-nitrophenol due to the hot electrons induced by the localized surface plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles. Additionally, the catalytic rates of 4 nm/30 nm Ag nanoparticles and porous/nonporous ZnO were compared. We found that the as-prepared Ag-nanoparticles-doped porous ZnO heterostructure catalyst showed enhanced catalytic performance due to the synergetic effect of Ag nanoparticles and porous ZnO. This study provides a novel heterostructure photocatalyst with potential applications in solar energy and pollutant disposal.

Heptanuclear Silver Hydride Clusters as Catalytic Precursors for the Reduction of 4-Nitrophenol. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27165223. [PMID: 36014476 PMCID: PMC9415167 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27165223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
We report on the design, synthesis, and characterization of the first silver hydride clusters solely protected and stabilized by dithiophosphonate ligands and their application for the in situ generation of silver nanoparticles towards the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol in an aqueous system. The synthesis of the silver monohydride cluster involves the incorporation of an interstitial hydride using sodium borohydride. Poly-nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry were used to establish the structural properties. The structural properties were then confirmed with a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which showed a distorted tetracapped tetrahedron core with one hydride ion encapsulated within the core of the silver framework. Additionally, the synthesized heptanuclear silver hydride was utilized as a precursor for the in situ generation of silver nanoparticles, which simultaneously catalyzed the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. The mechanism of the catalytic activity was investigated by first synthesizing AgNPs, which was subsequently used as a catalyst. The kinetic study showed that the pseudo-first constant obtained using the cluster (2.43 × 10−2 s−1) was higher than that obtained using the synthesized AgNPs (2.43 × 10−2 s−1). This indicated that the silver monohydride cluster was more active owing to the release of the encapsulated hydride ion and greater reaction surface prior to aggregation.
