Remote Photocatalysis─The Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2 Excited Via Surface Plasmon Polariton Propagation in a Single Silver Nanowire

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Metallic structures play a pivotal role in the processes induced or enhanced by plasmon resonances. In this work, we describe the utilization of light energy converted to the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) for the initiation of photocatalytic reactions (semiconductor photocatalysis). Irradiation of silver nanowires coated with titanium dioxide results in the SPPs propagation and excitation of the photocatalytic system ca. 10 μm away from the illumination spot. The reaction progress is revealed by transforming almost nonfluorescent 3′-( p -aminophenyl) fluorescein to strongly emitting fluorescein. Remote plasmonic photocatalysis can be further explored in the fields of photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and sensorics.
