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.

Constructing a CdS QDs/silica gel composite with high photosensitivity and prolonged recyclable operability for enhanced visible-light-driven NADH regeneration. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:1043-1052. [PMID: 37639926 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.08.090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
Visible-light-driven nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) regeneration is one of the most effective measures, and cadmium sulfide (CdS) materials are typically used as low-cost photocatalysts. The CdS photocatalysts, however, still suffer from low regeneration efficiency and poor cycle stability. In this work, the CdS quantum dots (QDs) less than 10 nm embedded onto silica gel (CdS QDs/Silica gel) were constructed for visible-light-driven NADH regeneration by a successive ionic layer adsorption reaction and ball milling method. Results demonstrate that the photosensitivity of the CdS QDs/Silica gel composite was 31 times higher than that of the bulk CdS. Moreover, the conduction band (CB) edge of the CdS QDs/Silica gel composite is -1.34 eV, which is more negative 0.5 eV than that of the bulk CdS. The obtained CdS QDs/Silica gel composites showed the highest NADH regeneration yields of 68.8% under visible-light (LED, 420 nm) illumination and can be reused for over 40 cycles. Finally, the bioactivity of NADH toward enzyme catalysis is further confirmed by the hydrogenation of benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol catalyzed with an alcohol dehydrogenase as enzyme catalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalysts for regeneration of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) usually work with continuous lighting and electron mediators, which causes impracticability under dark conditions, risk of NADH reoxidation, and complex separation. To solve these problems, we present a new catalyst of tiny Pt nanoparticles photodeposited on chromium-doped zinc gallate (CZGO@Pt). Upon being light-triggered, the photogenerated electrons are stored in the traps of CZGO and then gradually released and transferred by Pt to directly reduce NAD+ after stoppage of illumination. Three lighting modes are compared to demonstrate the feasibility and advantage of this light-triggered dark catalysis. Within 4 h of reaction, the in-the-dark NADH yield reaches 75.0% under prelighting CZGO@5%Pt and it reaches 80.0% under prelighting CZGO@5%Pt and triethanolamine (TEOA). However, the NADH yield is only 53.5% under continuous lighting of CZGO@5%Pt, TEOA, and NAD+. Consequently, the light-triggered dark catalytic regeneration of NADH not only saves energy and operates easily but also significantly elevates the NADH yield. It thus would secure wide interests and applications in places where no light or only intermittent light is available.
