Review recent advances and mechanistic insights in using the surface plasmon resonance of silver and gold nanoparticles to enhance photocatalytic chemical reactions.
Surveyed experimental literature investigating silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticle-driven photocatalytic processes.
Evaluated catalytic performance across water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction to hydrocarbon fuels, and organic molecule degradation.
Surface plasmon resonance in Ag and Au nanoparticles substantially improves light-harvesting efficiency for chemical energy storage.
Multiple underlying transfer mechanisms have been proposed, but key photophysical pathways remain incompletely understood and require further resolution.
