What Types of Materials are Used in Plasmonic Catalysis?
Commonly used materials in plasmonic catalysis include gold (Au), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu) nanoparticles. These materials exhibit strong plasmonic resonances in the visible to near-infrared range. Bimetallic nanoparticles and core-shell structures are also utilized to combine the plasmonic properties of one material with the catalytic properties of another.
