Plasmonic Electrochemistry: Various Photofunctions of Metal Nanoparticles
Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo, Japan
Light is reflected by metallic objects of normal size, but absorbed by metal nanoparticles due to plasmon resonance. Prof. Tatsuma has found a way to separate positive and negative charges on the basis of the energy of light absorbed by the plasmonic metal nanoparticles. He has used the separated charges to drive electrochemical reactions and applied the reactions to photovoltaic cells, photocatalysts, multicolor and infrared photochromic materials, chemical and biosensors, and photoactuators. The lecture will focus on the mechanisms and the applications of the plasmonic electrochemistry. Photoelectrochemistry of even smaller objects, namely metal clusters such as Au25, will also be described.
