研究目的
Investigating the use of plasmonic photocatalysis to make chemical reactions more efficient, particularly in the production of hydrogen.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the potential of plasmonic photocatalysis to significantly improve the efficiency of chemical reactions, such as hydrogen production, at lower temperatures. The technology could be broadly applicable to any gas-phase reaction.
研究不足
The technology is still in the development phase, with a lot of work to be done before having a product. The efficiency of photocatalysts in industrial applications is currently poor.
