Abstract:Utilizing plasmon-generated hot carriers to drive chemical reactions has currently become an active area of research in solar photocatalysis at the nanoscale. However, the mechanism underlying exact transfer and the generation dynamics of hot carriers, and the strategies used to further improve the quantum efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction still deserve a further look. In this work, we perform a nonadiabatic excited-state dynamics study to depict the correlation between the reaction rate of plasmon-dri… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
