Plasmon and Plexciton Driven Interfacial Catalytic Reactions.

In this review, we focus on the summary of catalytic reaction driven by surface plasmons and plexciton, where the plexciton is the interaction between plasmon and exciton. We first review the reduction and oxidation reactions driven by plasmons, and analyze the role of plasmons in the two reactions. We then summarize the recent research on the surface catalytic reactions driven by plasmon-exciton coupling and discuss the promotion effect of coupling interaction in oxidation reaction and reduction reaction. The coupling effect of plasmons and excitons can successfully improve the efficiency of catalytic reactions. Finally, this paper demonstrates the research progress in the electrooptical synergic plasmon-exciton co-driven surface catalytic reactions.
