Optical field-induced mass transfer in plasmonic electrochemistry

Abstract

The relative contributions of different rate-enhancement mechanisms in plasmon-assisted electrochemical reactions remain debated. Here, we separate the photothermally-induced natural convection component of mass transfer from an optical field-mediated effect that depends on light intensity and wavelength.
