Nanoplasmon–Semiconductor Hybrid for Interface Catalysis

We firstly, in this review, introduce the optical properties of plasmonic metals, and then focus on introducing the unique optical properties of the noble metal–metal-oxide hybrid system by revealing the physical mechanism of plasmon–exciton interaction, which was confirmed by theoretical calculations and experimental investigations. With this noble metal–metal-oxide hybrid system, plasmonic nanostructure–semiconductor exciton coupling interactions for interface catalysis has been analyzed in detail. This review can provide a deeper understanding of the physical mechanism of exciton–plasmon interactions in surface catalysis reactions.
