Kinetic investigation of para-nitrophenol reduction with photodeposited platinum nanoparticles onto tunicate cellulose

Abstract

Modified cellulose (ModCe) was used in a photodeposition process as a support material for platinum nanoparticles. The supported catalysts were investigated for the transfer hydrogenation of para-nitrophenol (PNP) to para-aminophenol (PAP).

Nanozymes with versatile redox capabilities inspired in metalloenzymes

“…It is known that in the first stage, the reactants are adsorbed on the surface of the nanocluster, which mediates electron transfer between BH 4 − and PNP. 31 The induction time required for the activation of the intermediates was herein observed at different nanozyme concentrations (Fig. 4B and Fig.…”
