Atmospheric-pressure microplasma-assisted electrochemistry was used to synthesize Ag nanoparticles (NPs) for plasmonic applications. It is shown that the size and dispersion of the nanoparticles can be controlled by variation of the microplasma-assisted electrochemical process parameters such as electrolyte concentration and temperature. Moreover, Ag NP synthesis is also achieved in the absence of a stabilizer, with additional control over the dispersion and NP formation possible. As the microplasma directly reduces Ag ions in solution, the incorporation of toxic reducing agents into the electrolytic solution is unnecessary, making this an environmentally friendly fabrication technique with strong potential for the design and growth of plasmonic nanostructures for a variety of applications. These experiments therefore link microplasma-assisted electrochemical synthesis parameters with plasmonic characteristics.

“…The spin-charge separation phenomenon supports electron charge density and spin density waves. In a different context, nowadays we have an increasing ability to control plasma-fabricated metal-based nanostructures into 1D plasmonic devices [8]. The consideration of quantum effects in such ultra-small systems is becoming increasingly unavoidable.…”

The collective dynamics of nonlinear electron waves in an one-dimensional degenerate electron gas is treated using the Lagrangian fluid approach. A new class of solutions with a nontrivial space and time dependence is derived. Both analytical and numerical results demonstrate the formation of stable, breather-like modes, provided certain conditions are meet. For large amplitude of the initial density perturbation, a catastrophic collapse of the plasma density is predicted, even in the presence of the quantum statistical pressure and quantum diffraction dispersive effects. The results are useful for the understanding of the properties of general nonlinear structures in dense plasmas.

light absorbability, thermal management, water transportation, and water evaporation. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Among them, the development of sunlight absorbers with rational structure designs has become a popular research topic, because it has remarkable potential to improve η. The absorbers include metallic plasmonics, semiconductors, carbon, and natural materials. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Among absorber materials, carbon-based materials have low cost, reusability, and excellent light-to-heat conversion properties and accordingly have become a common material in our daily life. [26] However, the operational principle of a carbon-based sunlight absorber in SSG devices is still not understood. Note that the concept for producing steam is very important to design new materials with enhanced efficiency and stability.Here we review some recent progress made in the development of carbon-based sunlight absorbers, including graphene, graphite, carbon nanotubes, other carbon materials, and carbonbased composites, in SSG regarding their fabrication and characterization with special attention paid to material design. The advantages and disadvantages of carbon-based absorbers in SSG are highlighted. Moreover, the challenges of high-performance carbon-based absorbers in solar-driven steam are also discussed. Steam Generation Mechanism for CarbonBased Sunlight Absorbers and Conversion Efficiency Calculation Steam Generation Mechanism for Carbon-Based Sunlight AbsorbersThe mechanism of a plasmonic SSG system has been explored with two plasmonic models. [10,[33][34][35] The first model is surface plasmon polaritons. In this model, the plasmons are able to travel across the surface in the x-y plane of the metal-dielectric interface for tens or hundreds of micrometers and decay to a depth of about 200 nm. [10,33] The second model is localized surface plasmons. It correlates with the Durde-Lorentz model in solid-state physics. According to the conduction band, electrons in the metal can be treated as free electrons, but the positive ions are located in fixed positions. [33] Wang et al. suggested a mechanism for low-temperature solar vapor generation with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a suspended system. [29] As shown in
