Plasmonic Control of Multi-Electron Transfer and C–C Coupling in Visible-Light-Driven CO2 Reduction on Au Nanoparticles
Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis relies on the availability of synthetic photocatalysts that can drive CO 2 reduction in the presence of water and light. From the standpoint of solar fuel production, it is desirable that these photocatalysts perform under visible light and produce energy-rich hydrocarbons from CO 2 reduction. However, the multistep nature of CO 2 -to-hydrocarbon conversion poses a significant kinetic bottleneck when compared to CO production and H 2 evolution. Here, we show that plasmonic Au nanoparticle photocatalysts can harvest visible light for multielectron, multiproton reduction of CO 2 to yield C 1 (methane) and C 2 (ethane) hydrocarbons. The light-excitation attributes influence the C 2 and C 1 selectivity. The observed trends in activity and selectivity follow Poisson statistics of electron harvesting. Higher photon energies and flux favor simultaneous harvesting of more than one electron from the photocharged Au nanoparticle catalyst, inducing the C–C coupling required for C 2 production. These findings elucidate the nature of plasmonic photocatalysis, which involves strong light-matter coupling, and set the stage for the controlled chemical bond formation by light excitation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
