Room-temperature driven and visible light enhanced dehydrogenation reactions catalysed by basic Au/SrTiO₃

Abstract

An Au/SrTiO3 catalyst with basic properties (Au/SrTiO3–urea) was firstly reported to be efficient for the dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols at room temperature.

Effect of isopropanol on gold assisted chemical etching of silicon microstructures

“…Au is reported to be very active into break C-H bonds but catalytic oxidation of IPA with Au -based catalysts has been reported for temperature in the range of 100 °C [43]. Therefore, at room temperature and in dark conditions as in our experiment [44], a catalytic oxidation of IPA should be excluded. Additional results with other catalyst are needed to properly evaluate the chemical catalyst-IPA interaction.…”

Visible-light photocatalytic selective aerobic oxidation of thiols to disulfides on anatase TiO2

“…Recently, heterogeneous photocatalysis has developed into a promising route for organic synthesis [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Typically, TiO2 has displayed great potential in heterogeneous photocatalysis [34]; specifically, TiO2 responds to visible light as a versatile platform to realize some conversions via complexation with heteroatoms (including O, N, and S) [35].…”

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of two dimensional SrTiO3 nano structures for dye degradation

“…In addition, SPR can improve the local electric eld of neighboring semiconductors, leading to increased electron-hole separation rate [23] [24]. Gold (Au) with its own interband transition and surface plasmon resonance can play a signi cant role in visible light photocatalysis activities [17]; Au-decorated SrTiO 3 was found to exhibit improved visible light photocatalytic activity in water splitting, plus iso-propanol and NO decomposition, and syngas production [13] [27].…”
