Abstract
Plasmonic nanomaterials are sources of light, heat and electrons at nanometer scale. Given the outstanding performance in harvesting and converting solar energy under visible light irradiation, hybrid nanomaterials with plasmonic activity have recently emerged as a new class of advanced photocatalysts. Because of the enhanced charge-separation at hybrid interfaces, the hybrids usually exhibit higher catalytic activity compared with their monometallic counterparts. Here, we review the recent progress on synthesis of plasmonic hybrid nanomaterials and their applications in photocatalysis, including H2 production, CO2 reduction and N2 fixation. We hope this review will give systematic and valuable reference on plasmonic solar to chemical energy conversion.
