Unveiling the Synergy of Coupled Gold Nanoparticles and J-Aggregates in Plexcitonic Systems for Enhanced Photochemical Applications.

ABSTRACT: Plexcitonic systems based on metal nanostructures and molecular J-aggregates offer an excellent opportunity to explore the intriguing interplay between plasmonic excitations and excitons, offering unique insights into light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Their potential applications in photocatalysis have prompted a growing interest in both their synthesis and the analysis of their properties. However, in order to construct a high-performing system, it is essential to ensure chemical and spectral compatibility between both components. We present the results of a study into a hybrid system, achieved through the coupling of gold nanobipyramids with organic molecules, and demonstrate the strengthened photochemical properties of such a system in comparison with purely J-aggregates.
