Nanotape Catalysts: Inkjet-Printed Gold Structures for Phenol Degradation at Ambient Conditions

This dataset contains experimental data on the catalytic performance of gold nanotapes (AuNTs) embedded in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel matrices for the degradation of phenolic compounds, including 4-nitrophenol and phenol. The data were generated through a combination of batch catalytic reactions, spectrophotometric analysis, and comparative studies involving spherical gold nanoparticles and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The dataset includes information on synthesis conditions, reaction kinetics, reusability tests, and the performance of catalysts in various formats: free suspension, drop-casted gels, and inkjet-printed hydrogel meshes. This dataset is relevant for researchers developing sustainable nanozyme-based catalytic systems, especially those interested in the use of nano enzymes for water treatment applications.
