研究目的
Investigating the mechanism of plasmon-mediated chemical reactions (PMCRs) using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and theoretical calculations, with a focus on the transformation of para-aminothiophenol (PATP) to 4,4′-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) as a model system.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that SERS is a powerful technique for the in situ investigation of PMCRs, providing fingerprint information and mechanism insights. It confirms that PATP can transform to DMAB through oxygen activation induced by hot electrons or by the action of hot holes in the absence of oxygen. The interface between plasmonic nanostructures and reactants plays a critical role in the reaction. The findings suggest that mediators, including surface catalytic and charge-transfer mediators, are critical for improving the efficiency of PMCRs and regulating product selectivity.
研究不足
The study faces challenges in distinguishing the multieffects of SPs (photothermal, hot electrons, and hot holes) and their influence on chemical reactions. The efficiency of PMCRs and product selectivity are areas requiring further optimization.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilizes SERS combined with theoretical calculations to investigate PMCRs. The transformation of PATP to DMAB is used as a model system to elaborate the mechanism of PMCRs.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
PATP adsorbed on roughened Ag electrodes and various core-shell plasmonic nanostructures are used as samples. Data is acquired through SERS measurements under different conditions.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Plasmonic nanostructures (Au, Ag, Cu), PATP, DMAB, oxygen, and nitrogen gases are used. Instruments include SERS setup, mass spectrometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
SERS spectra are recorded under varying conditions such as laser power, illumination time, and presence or absence of oxygen. The transformation of PATP to DMAB is monitored over time.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Theoretical calculations (DFT) are used to interpret SERS spectra and predict reaction mechanisms. Statistical techniques and software tools are employed for data analysis.
