What are the challenges in using LSPR for Catalysis?
1. Stability: LSPR-active nanoparticles can degrade over time due to oxidation or aggregation. 2. Reproducibility: Ensuring consistent size and shape of nanoparticles to maintain uniform LSPR properties can be challenging. 3. Integration: Incorporating LSPR-active materials into existing catalytic systems without compromising their properties requires careful design. 4. Cost: Noble metals like gold and silver are expensive, which can limit the scalability of LSPR-based catalytic systems.
