Photocatalysis uses semiconductors to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Recent reports have shown that plasmonic nanostructures can be used to extend semiconductor light absorption or to drive direct photocatalysis ...

Illumination of noble metal nanostructures by electromagnetic radiation induces coherent oscillations of conductive electrons on their surfaces. These coherent oscillations of electrons, also known as localized surface p...

ABSTRACT Pyroelectric catalysis has shown promising prospects for sustainable energy generation and medical treatments. However, its potential is limited by intrinsically low pyroelectric coefficients and insufficient in...

Dry synthesis is a highly versatile method for the fabrication of nanoporous metal films, since it enables easy and reproducible deposition of single or multi-layers of nanostructured materials that can find intriguing a...

Plasmons produce large confinement and enhancement of light that enable applications as varied as cancer therapy and catalysis. Adding to these appealing properties, graphene has emerged as a robust, electrically tunable...

Photons can be used to either monitor or induce catalysis by acting as photoexcited holes or quasi particles, which aid in water splitting reaction leading to a major step towards sustainable energy. However, the mechani...
