of the SI). This proves the inert nature of CNFs scaffold. A significant catalytic boost is clearly seen once Au-1-CNFs pre-composite is added to the PSSZ of AzoGly (Figure ). The rate constant value in the dark, kZ-E,Au dark = (7.09 ± 0.04)•10 -4 s -1 , is one order of magnitude higher comparing to samples without Au. Furthermore, in the presence of Au and upon irradiation with red-NIR, two orders of magnitude increase is observed, kZ-E,Au light = (3.15 ± 0.03)•10 -3 s -1 .
