[2F02] Plasmon-assisted hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions of noble metal nanoparticles
Keywords:plasmonic catalyst, visible-light irradiation, noble metal nanoparticles
In the last decade, plasmonic catalysts have been widely researched for their characterization and application in diverse chemical reactions under visible light irradiation conditions. We have focused our research theme on the design of Ag-based hybrid plasmonic catalysts for their application in hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. A significant enhancement in the conversion of ammonia borane dehydrogenation and chemoselective hydrogenation of nitrostyrene to aminostyrene was obtained upon tuning the wavelength and intensity of light irradiation over SBA-15 silica-supported Ag nanoparticles.
