Plasmon-mediated photochemical transformation of inorganic nanocrystals

Owing to the extraordinary optical properties, plasmonic nanostructures have been applied in many fields, particularly in triggering or accelerating chemical reactions. Because of the unique features of the surface plasmon, various inorganic nanomaterials, especially the ones with complex nanostructures, have been obtained with the assistance of plasmon excitation, producing nanocrystals that are difficult to fabricate by traditional methods....
