PdAu core–shell nanostructures as visible-light responsive plasmonic photocatalysts
PdAu core–shell nanostructures as visible-light responsive plasmonic photocatalysts
Plasmonic photocatalysis is an emerging hot field for improving light-harvesting and promoting photon efficiency. The integration of noble metal nanostructures (Ag, Au) with active metals (Pd, Pt, Ru) in a core-shell arrangement has been established as a promising strategy to develop materials for energy conversion and storage applications. The core-shell structured hybrid materials offer the advantages of not only protecting the plasmonic metal (core) from oxidation and morphological changes but also assist in accelerating the charge separation efficiency at the interface. In this chapter, we briefly cover the design, fabrication, and strategies to synthesize core-shell plasmonic catalysts, mainly AuPd nanostructures, as a promising technique for designing visible-light responsive heterogeneous photocatalysts for organic transformation reactions using solar energy. The state-of-the-art bimetallic plasmonic materials with highly tunable optical responses explored in various emerging research opportunities are discussed to understand and predict the enhanced photocatalytic performances under visible light irradiation conditions.

Abstract
Plasmonic photocatalysis is an emerging hot field for improving light-harvesting and promoting photon efficiency. The integration of noble metal nanostructures (Ag, Au) with active metals (Pd, Pt, Ru) in a core-shell arrangement has been established as a promising strategy to develop materials for energy conversion and storage applications. The core-shell structured hybrid materials offer the advantages of not only protecting the plasmonic metal (core) from oxidation and morphological changes but also assist in accelerating the charge separation efficiency at the interface. In this chapter, we briefly cover the design, fabrication, and strategies to synthesize core-shell plasmonic catalysts, mainly AuPd nanostructures, as a promising technique for designing visible-light responsive heterogeneous photocatalysts for organic transformation reactions using solar energy. The state-of-the-art bimetallic plasmonic materials with highly tunable optical responses explored in various emerging research opportunities are discussed to understand and predict the enhanced photocatalytic performances under visible light irradiation conditions.
