Light-Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Activation and Conversion by Effective Plasmonic Coupling Effect of Pt and Au Nanoparticles
Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is attractive for the production of valuable fuels and mitigating the influence of greenhouse gas emission. However, the extreme inertness of CO 2 and the sluggish kinetics of photoexcited charge carrier transfer process greatly limit the conversion efficiency of CO 2 photoreduction. Herein, we report that the plasmonic coupling effect of Pt and Au nanoparticles (NPs) profoundly enhances the efficiency of CO 2 reduction through dry reforming of methane reaction assisted by light illumination, reducing activation energies for CO 2 reduction ∼30% below thermal activation energies and achieving a reaction rate 2.4 times higher than that of the thermocatalytic reaction. UV–visible (vis) absorption spectra and wavelength-dependent performances show that not only UV but also visible light play important roles in promoting CO 2 reduction due to effective localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) coupling between Pt and Au NPs. Finite-difference time-domain simulations and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy further reveal that effective coupling LSPR effect generates strong local electric fields and excites high concentration of hot electrons to activate the reactants and intermediate species, reduce the activation energies, and increase the reaction rate. This work provides a new pathway toward the efficient plasmon-enhanced chemical reactions via reducing the activation energies by utilizing solar energy.

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.
