Pt-decorated Ag@Cu2O heterostructures were successfully synthesized using a simple and convenient method. The Pt nanoparticle density on the Ag@Cu2O can be controlled by changing the concentration of the Pt precursor. The synthesized Ag@Cu2O–Pt nanoparticles exhibited excellent catalytic performance, which was greatly affected by changes in the Ag@Cu2O–Pt structure. To optimize the material’s properties, the synthesized Ag@Cu2O–Pt nanoparticles were used to catalyze toxic pollutants and methyl orange (MO), and nontoxic products were obtained by catalytic reduction. The Pt-decorated Ag@Cu2O nanoparticles showed excellent catalytic activity, which significantly decreased the pollutant concentration when the nanoparticles were used for catalytic reduction. The redistribution of charge transfer is the nanoparticles’ main contribution to the catalytic degradation of an organic pollutant. This Pt-decorated Ag@Cu2O material has unique optical and structural characteristics that make it suitable for photocatalysis, local surface plasmon resonance, and peroxide catalysis.

A polystyrene sulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15-PSSA) catalyst was synthesized via an established multistep route, employing 2-bromo-2-methylpropionyl bromide as initiator of atom transfer radical polymerization. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric/differential thermal, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed outstanding structural characteristics of the catalyst, including highly ordered mesopores, high surface area (726 m2/g), and adequate estimated concentrations of active sites (0.70 mmol H+/g). SBA-15-PSSA’s catalytic performance was evaluated in the esterification of acetic acid and n-heptanol as a model system at various temperatures (50–110 °C), catalyst loads (0.1–0.3 g), and reaction times (0–160 min). The conversion percentage of acetic acid was found to increase with the temperature, catalyst load, and reaction time. Furthermore, results indicated a fast conversion in the first 20 min of the reaction, with remarkable conversion values at 110 °C, reaching 86%, 94%, and 97% when the catalyst load was 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 g, respectively; notably, at this temperature, 100% conversation was achieved after 60 min. At 110 °C, the reaction conducted in the presence of 0.3 g of catalyst displayed more than 6.4 times the efficiency of the uncatalyzed reaction. Such activity is explained by the concomitant presence in the polymer of strong sulfonic acid moieties and a relatively high hydrophobic surface, with adequate numbers of active sites for ester production.
