This article summarizes recent advances in the development of plasmonic metal-semiconductor photocatalysts for improving the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. It highlights four localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) driven mechanisms by which plasmonic metal nanoparticles can enhance HER activity. The principles for maximizing the contribution of these mechanisms are also emphasized for future design of plasmonic metal-semiconductor photocatalysts with enhanced HER activity.
Incorporation of plasmonic metals is one of the most widely adopted strategies for improving the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of semiconductor photocatalysts. This article summarizes recent advances in the development of plasmonic metal-semiconductor photocatalysts and four localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) driven mechanisms by which plasmonic metal nanoparticles can contribute to enhancement of HER activity. In addition, principles for maximizing the contribution of these LSPR driven mechanisms are highlighted to provide insights for future design of plasmonic metal-semiconductor photocatalysts with enhanced HER activity.
