Coupled Au Nanoparticle-Cavity Nanostructures for Precise Control in Resonance-Driven Photocatalytic Reactions.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalysis offers a sustainable approach to converting solar energy into chemical energy, enabling the production of renewable fuels and chemicals with net-zero emissions, a crucial step toward a renewable energy-based economy. Recent advancements in nanophotonics, particularly in plasmonic hybridized nanostructures, have enabled tunable localized surface plasmon resonances, offering solutions for selective, resonance-driven chemical applications via two nonthermal mechanisms: near-field enhancement, which amplifies the localized electromagnetic field, and hot electron energy transfer, which injects energetic electrons into reactants. We designed a series of self-assembled Au nanoparticle cavities to precisely control plasmonic resonance strength via Fabry-Pérot (F-P) resonances by tun
