TiO2 photocatalysed reduction of bis(2-dipyridyl)disulfide (RSSR) to 2-mercaptopyridine by H2O is enhanced significantly by incorporation of nanometre-sized Au particles. The rate is strongly dependent on the amount of Au loaded (x wt.%), passing through a maximum at x∽0.3, while it is almost independent of the Au particle size in the 4.3–11 nm range. Comparison of the effects of Au and Ag loading reveals that the rate constant of the Au(0.25 wt.%)/TiO2 system is greater than that of the Ag(0.24 wt.%)/TiO2 system by a factor of 2.6 and the activation energy of the former is about two-thirds that of the latter. The enhancing effect of the Au loading is discussed in terms of kinetic and molecular orbital considerations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
