Black Gold-Based “Antenna–Reactor” To Activate Non-Plasmonic Nickel: Photocatalytic Hydrodechlorination and Hydrogenation Reactions

Abstract: Activation of organic chlorides is a challenging reaction due to their chemical inertness, while hydrogenation of alkene and alkynes faces poor selectivity. In this work, we have demonstrated the use of nickel-loaded black gold (black Au−Ni) that absorbs broadband light from visible to near-infrared of the sunlight due to plasmonic coupling between Au NPs, for photocatalytic hydrodechlorination and propene and acetylene hydrogenation reactions. Hot carriers, the polarizing electric field, and the photothermal … Show more

“…(Figure S10, Supporting Information). [66][67][68][69] Additionally, the reactions were conducted using well-separated NPs on the support to prevent heat accumulation, with precise temperature control and continuous stirring. Since we also employed the Au NPs of 5.5 ± 0.6 nm, the local heating effect is expected to be negligible, [61,[70][71][72] and the majority of the excited plasmon energy can be effectively utilized through light absorption (i.e., sp-sp intraband transition), primarily decaying via nonradiative electron-hole pair generation.…”

“…The HER performance of the Au/NiO/Ni foam catalyst is significantly higher than that of the MoS 2 /NiO/Ni foam catalyst in the presence of white light irradiation (Figure b), reversing the trend observed without light irradiation (Figure a). This observation is important, as the plasmonic nanometals-incorporated Ni particles (termed as plasmonic black gold) have recently been reported as efficient catalysts for various photocatalytic reactions due to plasmonic coupling with Ni particles. , Here, we observe that the alkaline HER overpotential for the MoS 2 /NiO/Ni foam is reduced from 222 mV (without light) to 193 mV at 50 mA cm –2 , while that for the Au/NiO/Ni foam is lowered from 235 mV (without light) to a significantly low value of 156 mV at 50 mA cm –2 under photoelectrocatalytic (with light irradiation) conditions.…”

“…Another possibility is to use secondary light-absorbing elements, whereby a catalytically active metal is coupled with another material able to absorb light in a wider range and generate photo-carriers and/or heat. 163–165 Core–shell structures have also received great attention, as the idea is to mimic a nanoreactor, confining the heat in the core, increasing the temperature precisely where the active sites are located. 166 Still in this context, MOFs can also be used as sacrificial templates to obtain carbon-based materials featuring broadband light absorption in the visible and IR light ranges.…”
