摘要
Plasmon-mediated electrochemistry is an emerging area of interest in which the electrochemical reactions are enhanced by employing metal nanostructures possessing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). However, the reaction efficacy is still far below its theoretical limit due to the ultrafast relaxation of LSPR-generated hot carriers. Herein, we introduce p-hydroxythiophenol (PHTP) as a molecular cocatalyst to significantly improve the reaction efficacy in plasmon-mediated electrochemical oxidation of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) on gold nanoparticles. Using electrochemical techniques, in situ Raman spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations, we elucidate that the presence of PHTP improves the hot hole-mediated electrochemical oxidation of PATP by 2-fold through the trapping of plasmon-mediated hot electrons. In addition, the selectivity of PATP oxidation could also be modulated by the introduction of PHTP cocatalyst. This tactic of employing molecular cocatalyst can be drawn out to endorse various plasmonic electrochemical reactions because of its simple protocol, high efficiency, and high selectivity.
