Plasmonic catalysis is a rapidly evolving field that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to revolutionize various industries, including energy, chemicals, and materials science. This comprehensive book provides a thorough treatment of plasmonic catalysis, from its theoretical foundations to its diverse applications in industry and academia.

The book begins by introducing the fundamental principles of plasmonic catalysis, including the concept of plasmons and their role in catalysis. It then delves into the theory, properties, synthesis, and various reaction types of plasmonic catalysis, covering topics such as oxidation, reduction, nitrogen fixation, CO2 reduction, and more.

In addition to the fundamentals, the book explores the integration of conventional methods and new methods to unravel the optical, electronic, and chemical properties of plasmonic catalytic systems. It also provides a detailed description of the controlled synthesis of metal nanoparticles relevant to plasmonic catalysis, along with practical examples.

The book covers a wide range of other practical topics in plasmonic catalysis, such as hydrogenation reactions and the harvesting of LSPR-excited charge carriers. It also includes a thorough introduction to plasmonic catalysis, a theory of plasmons for catalysis and mechanisms, as well as the optical properties of plasmonic-catalytic nanostructures.

The book further explores the synthesis of plasmonic nanoparticles for photo and electro catalysis, plasmonic catalysis towards oxidation reactions and hydrogenation reactions, plasmonic catalysis for multi-electron processes and artificial photosynthesis, and N2 fixation. It also examines control over reaction selectivity in plasmonic catalysis, which is crucial for developing efficient and selective catalysts.

Plasmonic catalysis is a multidisciplinary field that involves the expertise of catalytic chemists, materials scientists, and physicists. This book is ideal for catalytic chemists, materials scientists, and researchers who are interested in advancing their knowledge and understanding of plasmonic catalysis. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource that covers both foundational and advanced topics in this rapidly evolving field.
