摘要: Antioxidant activity of native vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AH2) is hampered by instability in solution. Selective loading AH2 into the inner lumen natural halloysite nanotubes (HNT) yields a composite nanoantioxidant (HNT/AH2), which was characterized and investigated for its reactivity with persistent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) radical transient peroxyl radicals inhibited autoxidation organic substrates, both solution (acetonitrile) buffered (pH 7.4) water comparison AH2. HNT/AH2 showed excellent antioxidant performance being more effective than ascorbic acid 131% acetonitrile 290% (three-fold) aqueous solution, under identical settings. Reaction has rate constant 1.4 × 106 M−1 s−1 5.1 104 s−1, respectively, acetonitrile, at 30 °C. Results offer physical understanding factors governing reactivity. Improved unprecedented among forms stabilized relevance discussed on kinetic grounds.
