研究目的
Investigating the plasmonically-enhanced photocatalytic oxidation of formic acid (FA) and ethanol (EtOH) using gold nanospheres (AuNSs) and gold nanorods (AuNRs) on TiO2 to drive carbon-carbon (C-C) bond cleavage at low temperatures.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that plasmonic enhancement by AuNR-TiO2 under visible light irradiation facilitates the selective cleavage of C-C bonds in ethanol, leading to complete oxidation to CO2. This is achieved through a combination of plasmon-induced electron transfer and photothermal effects.
研究不足
The study is limited by the polydispersity of the samples and potential thermal reshaping of AuNPs from heat treatments. The photocatalytic performance is also dependent on the Au loading and the precise control of AuNP shape and size.
