Gold Nanoparticle-Decorated Diatom Biosilica: A Favorable Catalyst for the Oxidation of d-Glucose
[Image: see text] Diatoms are unicellular algae of enormous biodiversity that occur in all water habitats on earth. Their cell walls are composed of amorphous biosilica and exhibit species-specific nanoporous to microporous and macroporous patterning. Therefore, diatom biosilica is a promising renew...

description | [Image: see text] Diatoms are unicellular algae of enormous biodiversity that occur in all water habitats on earth. Their cell walls are composed of amorphous biosilica and exhibit species-specific nanoporous to microporous and macroporous patterning. Therefore, diatom biosilica is a promising renewable material for various applications, such as in catalysis, drug-delivery systems, and biophotonics. In this study, diatom biosilica of three different species (Stephanopyxis turris, Eucampia zodiacus, and Thalassiosira pseudonana) was used as support material for gold nanoparticles using a covalent coupling method. The resulting catalysts were applied for the oxidation of d-glucose to d-gluconic acid. Because of its high specific surface area, well-established transport pores, and the presence of small, homogeneously distributed gold nanoparticles on the surface, diatom biosilica provides a highly catalytically active surface and advanced accessibility to the active sites. In comparison to those of the used reference supports, higher catalytic activities (up to 3.28 × 10(–4) mmol(Glc) s(–1) mg(Au)(–1) for T. pseudonana biosilica) and slower deactivation were observed for two of the diatom biosilica materials. In addition, diatom biosilica showed very high gold-loading capacities (up to 45 wt %), with a homogeneous nanoparticle distribution. |
