研究目的
Investigating the impact of plasmonic photothermal effects on the reactivity of Au nanoparticle modified graphene electrodes using scanning electrochemical microscopy.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that plasmonic excitation of Au nanoparticles beneath graphene electrodes primarily enhances electrochemical reactivity through photothermal effects, leading to significant increases in reaction rates and shifts in reaction onset potentials. SECM is highlighted as a powerful tool for spatially resolving these effects.
研究不足
The study focuses on the photothermal effects and does not extensively explore the role of hot carriers in the observed reactivity changes. The experimental setup limits the spatial resolution of temperature measurements.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
SECM in feedback and H2O2 collection modes was used to study the electrochemical response. Finite-element method simulations supported the experimental findings.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Graphene-covered gold nanoparticle arrays (G-AuNP) were used as substrates.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SECM setup with a Pt wire UME probe, 532 nm laser for plasmonic excitation, and electrochemical cell with Ag/AgCl reference electrode.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
SECM imaging and approach curves were performed with and without laser illumination to assess photothermal effects.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Finite-element simulations were used to correlate current enhancements with temperature increases, and Arrhenius analysis was applied to kinetic data.
