Spatial distribution of active sites for plasmon-induced chemical reactions triggered by well-defined plasmon modes

Abstract

Plasmon-induced chemical reactions triggered by near-infrared light illumination might enable efficient photo energy conversion. Here, electrochemical oxidative polymerization of a conductive polymer was conducted on plasmonic photoconversion electrodes. The absolute electrochemical potential of the generated holes was estimated from the redox potentials of the monomers. In addition, well-defined plasmonic structures were examined to better understand the relationship between the excited plasmon mode and spatial distribution of reaction active sites. Rod structures with various lengths had distinct spatial distributions of reaction active sites that depended on the higher plasmon modes, as visualized by Raman measurements.
