Plasmon refers to the coherent oscillation of all conduction-band electrons in a
nanostructure made of a metal or a heavily doped semiconductor. Upon excitation, the …

Photo-thermal catalysis has recently emerged as an alternative route to drive chemical
reactions using light as an energy source. Through the synergistic combination of photo-and …

Catalysts based on platinum group metals have been a major focus of the chemical industry
for decades. We show that plasmonic photocatalysis can transform a thermally unreactive …

Sunlight-driven H2 generation is a central technology to tackle our impending carbon-based
energy collapse. Colloidal photocatalysts consisting of plasmonic and catalytic …

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is a physical phenomenon exhibited by
