The conversion of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) or p-nitrothiophenol (PNTP) to p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) has been used as model reactions to study plasmon-catalyzed reaction on nanoparticles. Herein, we report the conversion of PNTP to DMAB which is triggered by SO ions on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the first time. With the addition of SO, the Raman peaks at 1139, 1392, 1437 cm appears, which indicates the formation of DMAB. The experiment results suggested that the synergistic effect of AuNPs and SO promoted the conversion of PNTP to DMAB. Besides, the proposed catalysis system is high selectivity to SO ions, which provides a new detection route to SO ions in the future. More importantly, the possible reaction mechanism has been put forward which is helpful to understand the surface plasmon-assisted catalytic reduction of PNTP on the surface of SERS substrate.

Nanoporous metals have garnered significant attention in catalysis due to their unique three-dimensional interconnected network structure and pronounced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties. In this study, nanoporous Au-Ag shells with varying pore sizes (8, 10, 12, and 18 nm) were synthesized, and their catalytic efficiencies were systematically evaluated. The conversion of p-nitrothiophenol (PNTP) to dimercapto-azobenzene (DMAB) was used to investigate the influence of pore size on the reaction kinetics and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effects.

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) has been significant in understanding the reactions in solution. In a solid-gas interface, it remains a challenge to identify electron transfer or proton transfer intermediates. Here, in a Au/N interface, we regulated and characterized the PCET from -aminothiophenol (PATP) to -nitrothiophenol (PNTP) in the plasmon-mediated conversion to ,-dimercaptoazobenzene by variable-temperature surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

Light-responsive nanochannels have attracted extensive attention due to their noninvasive external field control and intelligent ion regulation. However, the limited photoresponsive current and the low photoelectric conversion efficiency still restrict their development. Here, a light-controlled nanochannel composed of 4-aminothiophenol and gold nanoparticles-modified mesoporous titania nanopillar arrays and alumina oxide (4-ATP-Au-MTI/AAO) is fabricated by the interfacial super-assembly strategy.

Surveillance of iodine intake is important because either inadequate or excessive amount of iodine may lead to thyroid malfunctions. Herein, we report a method for fast iodide quantification based on a plasmonic hot electron-driven chemical reaction, which occurs on Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) coated with p-nitrothiophenol (PNTP) molecules. Upon resonant light illumination, hot electron-hole pairs are generated in the NPs.

The dimerization of PNTP to DMAB could be directly driven by the laser heating effect. In plasmonic photocatalysis, the conversion rate and the reaction rate highly depend on GNP size. The reaction is not only driven by hot electron transfer but also by photothermal conversion to a large extent.
