Abstract
We investigated transition-metal-loaded silicon nanoparticles for the photocatalytic reduction of nitroarene derivatives in the presence of formic acid under visible light irradiation. Formic acid assumes the role of both a hydrogen source and a sacrificial reagent for the introduction of electrons into the generated holes of semiconductors. As such, in the presence of formic acid, photocatalytic reactions smoothly proceed under mild conditions without gaseous hydrogen. In particular, palladium-loaded silicon (Pd/Si) was the most suitable catalyst for the conversion of nitrobenzene to aniline, compared to Pt/Si, Ru/Si, and Pd/C.
