Molecular Coadsorption of p-Hydroxythiophenol on Silver Nanoparticles Boosts the Plasmon-Mediated Decarboxylation Reaction

Yuqin Chen et al.

Summary: Surface plasmons have attracted attention in chemical reactions due to their high light utilization efficiency, reaction rate, and mild conditions. This study reveals that the coadsorption of p-hydroxythiophenol (PHTP) molecules significantly enhances the plasmon-mediated decarboxylation reaction of p-mercaptobenzoic acid adsorbed on silver nanoparticles. The observed boosting effect is attributed to the matched energy distribution between the plasmon-generated hot electrons and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of the coadsorbed PHTP molecules. These findings deepen our understanding of plasmon-mediated chemical reactions and provide a convenient and cost-effective way to fabricate highly efficient plasmonic catalysts.
