| Abstract Scope |
Localized surface plasmon resonances provide unique mechanisms for electron transfer processes in nanocomposite systems. Additionally, these electrons can be leveraged to provide pathways for the development of novel energy conversion and storage devices. By controlling the shape, size, and composition of nanomaterials, the excitation wavelength and electron transfer mechanisms can be altered. Herein, the fundamentals of electron transfer mechanisms in plasmonic nanomaterial systems will be discussed and the potential for these plasmonic systems to drive chemical reactions. Examples of surface plasmon induced catalysis will be provided as well as potential applications for advanced energy storage and conversion devices. |
