研究目的
To review recent advances in the plasmonic overall water splitting and H2O2 synthesis from water and O2, focusing on the electrocatalysis of Au nanoparticles.
研究成果
Au NP-based HET-type plasmonic photocatalysts can be very promising solar-to-chemical converters for overall water splitting and H2O2 synthesis, with potential for further development through optimization of Au NPs and semiconductors.
研究不足
The field is still in its infancy, with plenty of room for enhancement of photocatalytic activity by the judicious selection of semiconductors and optimization of Au NPs corresponding to the targeted reaction.
