Despite the promising potential, plasmonic catalysis faces several challenges:
1. Stability: Plasmonic nanoparticles can degrade or aggregate under reaction conditions, reducing their effectiveness. 2. Material Selection: Finding suitable plasmonic materials that are both catalytically active and exhibit strong plasmonic resonances is challenging. 3. Scalability: Scaling up plasmonic catalysts for industrial applications while maintaining their efficiency and stability is still a significant hurdle.
