Hydrogen evolution with hot electrons on a plasmonic-molecular catalyst hybrid system

Ananta Dey,
Amal Mendalz,
Anna Wach
et al.

Abstract: Plasmonic systems convert light into electrical charges and heat, mediating catalytic transformations. However, there is ongoing controversy regarding the involvement of hot carriers in the catalytic process. In this study, we demonstrate the direct utilisation of plasmon hot electrons in the hydrogen evolution reaction with visible light. We intentionally assemble a plasmonic nanohybrid system comprising NiO/Au/[Co(1,10-Phenanthrolin-5-amine)2(H2O)2], which is unstable at water thermolysis temperatures. This … Show more

“…Recently, Sáet al directly utilized plasmonic hot electrons generated with visible light irradiation for catalytic HER. 101 Here, the focus was to distinguish between photothermal and hot-carrier mechanisms in plasmonic-driven catalysis. To ensure that the hot carriers can act as the major contributors to the catalytic process, the plasmonic nanohybrid system NiO/Au/[Co(1,10-phenanthrolin-5-amine) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] was deliberately assembled to limit the plasmon thermal contribution.…”

“…An interesting avenue of research is the excited state dynamics and energy transfer processes between metal NPs and adsorbed molecules under various conditions. In this context, the strong coupling regime is especially promising, since the initial eigenstates become thoroughly mixed, which leads to the formation of new energy states and potentially favorable electron transition possibilities . These changes of the electronic landscape yield modifications of reaction pathways, allowing for modified chemistry, catalytic applications, or enhanced selectivity .…”
