Effect of morphologies and compositions of silver-based multicomponent heterogeneous nanocrystals on the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.

ABSTRACT: Silver-based nanocrystals have excellent catalytic performance in various reactions, such as the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. The catalytic performance of nanocrystals varies with several parameters, including nanocrystal morphology, composition, and plasmon-induced hot electrons around nanocrystals. Here, highly heterogeneous nanocrystals (Au-Ag and Ag₂S-Ag nanocrystals) fabricated on polymer films via a seed-mediated method are used as catalysts for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, and the effect of the morphology and composition of nanocrystals on the catalytic performance is investigated. These nanocrystals on polymer films exhibit higher reusability (low catalyst loss) in catalytic applications compared to catalysts dispersed freely in the reaction solution. The excell
