Abstract
Alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) are recently demonstrated as a promising strategy to promote the electrochemical catalytic reactions. However, the underlying mechanisms are still an open question. In this work, we systematically investigated the influence of AMFs on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by using a Fe-Co-Ni-P-B magnetic catalyst. The HER catalytic efficiency is boosted significantly by AMFs, with 27% increase in current density at 20 mT. This is attributed to the enhancement of charge-transfer efficiency by Lorentz interaction with a minor contribution from the heating effect. The high magnetic permeability and skin effect of electromagnetic eddy current for the Fe-Co-Ni-P-B electrode can magnify the Lorentz effect. These findings clarify the mechanism of AMF-enhanced HER catalytic activities and open a door for designing a high-efficiency electrocatalysis system.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used to mimic enzymes for catalyzing chemical reactions; however, low enzyme activity limit their large-scale application. In this work, gold nanorods/metal-organic frameworks (Au NRs/Fe-MOF) hybrids were successfully synthesized for photo-enhanced peroxidase-like catalysis and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The enzyme-like activity of Au NRs/Fe-MOF hybrids was significantly enhanced under localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), because the hot electrons produced on Au NRs surface were transferred into Fe-MOF, activating the Fenton reaction by Fe3+/Fe2+ conversion and preventing the recombination of hot electrons and holes. This photo-enhanced enzyme-like catalytic performance was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), electrochemical analysis, activation energy measurement, and in situ Raman spectroscopy. Afterward, Methylene Blue (MB) was chosen to demonstrate the photo-enhanced peroxidase-like performance of Au NRs/Fe-MOFs. The Au NRs/Fe-MOF caused chemical and electromagnetic enhancement of Raman signals and exhibited a great potential for the detection of toxic chemicals and biological molecules. The detection limit of MB concentration is 9.3 × 10-12 M. In addition, the Au NRs/Fe-MOF hybrids also showed excellent stability and reproducibility for photo-enhanced peroxidase-like catalysis. These results show that nanohybrids have great potential in many fields, such as sensing, cancer therapy, and energy harvesting.

Abstract
MoS2 has drawn great attention as a promising alternative to Pt-based catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, it suffers from sluggish kinetics to drive the HER process because of inert basal planes. Here, an on-chip MoS2 monolayer (MoS2 ML) HER reactor was designed and fabricated to reveal direct thermal enhancement of MoS2 ML for the HER. The thermal effects generated efficient electron transfer in the atomic MoS2 ML and at the interface between the electrolyte and the catalyst, leading to enhanced HER activity. The MoS2 ML measured at a higher temperature (60 °C) possesses a significantly enhanced HER activity with a lower overpotential (90 mV at current densities of 10 mA cm-2), lower Tafel slope (94 mV dec-1), and higher turnover frequency (73 s-1 at an overpotential of 125 mV) compared to the results obtained at room temperature. More importantly, the findings are attractive toward understanding the thermal effect on 2D monolayers as well as the development of next-generation electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The successful development of artificial photosynthesis requires finding new materials able to efficiently harvest sunlight and catalyze hydrogen generation and carbon dioxide reduction reactions. Plasmonic nanoparticles are promising candidates for these tasks, due to their ability to confine solar energy into molecular regions. Here, we review recent developments in hybrid plasmonic photocatalysis, including the combination of plasmonic nanomaterials with catalytic metals, semiconductors, perovskites, 2D materials, metal-organic frameworks, and electrochemical cells. We perform a quantitative comparison of the demonstrated activity and selectivity of these materials for solar fuel generation in the liquid phase. In this way, we critically assess the state-of-the-art of hybrid plasmonic photocatalysts for solar fuel production, allowing its benchmarking against other existing heterogeneous catalysts. Our analysis allows the identification of the best performing plasmonic systems, useful to design a new generation of plasmonic catalysts.

Abstract
In this work, we designed and prepared a hierarchically assembled 3D plasmonic metal-dielectric-metal (PMDM) hybrid nano-architecture for high-performance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing. The fabrication of the PMDM hybrid nanostructure was achieved by the thermal evaporation of Au film followed by thermal dewetting and the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of the Al2O3 dielectric layer, which is crucial for creating numerous nanogaps between the core Au and the out-layered Au nanoparticles (NPs). The PMDM hybrid nanostructures exhibited strong SERS signals originating from highly enhanced electromagnetic (EM) hot spots at the 3 nm Al2O3 layer serving as the nanogap spacer, as confirmed by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation. The PMDM SERS substrate achieved an outstanding SERS performance, including a high sensitivity (enhancement factor, EF of 1.3 × 108 and low detection limit 10-11 M) and excellent reproducibility (relative standard deviation (RSD) < 7.5%) for rhodamine 6G (R6G). This study opens a promising route for constructing multilayered plasmonic structures with abundant EM hotspots for the highly sensitive, rapid, and reproducible detection of biomolecules.

Abstract
Benefiting from its strong cytotoxic features, singlet oxygen (1O2) has garnered considerable research attention in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and thus, plenty of inorganic PDT agents have been recently developed. However, inorganic PDT agents consisting of metal/semiconductor hybrids are surprisingly rare, bearing very low 1O2 quantum yield, and their in vivo PDT applications remain elusive. Herein, we provide an unprecedented report that the Au/MoS2 hybrid under plasmon resonant excitation can sensitize 1O2 generation with a quantum yield of about 0.22, which is much higher than that of the reported hybrid-based photosensitizers (PSs). This significant enhancement in 1O2 quantum yield is attributed to the hot-electron injection from plasmonic AuNPs to MoS2 NSs due to the matched energy levels. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy with spin trapping and spin labeling verifies the plasmonic generation of hot charge carriers and reactive oxygen species such as superoxide and 1O2. This plasmonic PDT agent shows a remarkable photodynamic bacterial inactivation in vitro and anti-cancer therapeutic ability both in vitro and in vivo, which is solely attributed to high 1O2 generation rather than the plasmonic photothermal effect. Hence, plasmonic Au/MoS2 with enhanced 1O2 quantum yield and appreciable in vivo cancer plasmonic PDT performance holds great promise as an inorganic PS to treat near-surface tumors. As a first demonstration of how metal localized surface plasmon resonance could enhance 1O2 generation, the present study opens up promising opportunities for enhancing 1O2 quantum yield of hybrid-based PSs, leading to achieving a high therapeutic index in plasmon PDT.

Abstract
Among the members of the rapidly growing nanozyme family, plasmonic nanozymes stand out because of their unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) characteristics and tunable catalytic activity. We prepared a plasmonic nanozyme of Au gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Cu metal-organic framework nanosheets (Cu-MOFNs). The Cu-MOFNs have peroxidase-like activity, while AuNPs present unique LSPR characteristics. We found that the as-prepared AuNPs/Cu-MOFNs composite presents 1.6-fold faster reaction kinetics under LSPR excitation compared to that in the dark. Investigations of energy levels, radical capture, and dark-field scattering spectroscopy revealed that LSPR of AuNPs as well as matched energy levels can facilitate efficient hot electron transfer, which could readily cleave the chemical bond of the substrate and accelerate the reaction kinetics. On the basis of these results, we achieved enhanced antibacterial therapy and wound healing using plasmonic AuNPs/Cu-MOFNs. This study spotlights the superiority of plasmonic nanozymes in improving the enzyme-like performance of nanozymes.

Abstract
The structure-function relationship of plasmon enhanced electrochemistry (PEEC) is of great importance for the design of efficient PEEC catalyst, but is rarely investigated at single nanoparticle level for the lack of efficient nanoscale methodology. Herein, we report the utilization of nanoparticle impact electrochemistry to allow single nanoparticle PEEC, where the effect of incident light on the plasmonic Ag/Au nanoparticles for accelerating Co-MOFNs catalyzed hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is systematically explored. It is found that the plasmon excited hot carrier injection can lower the reaction activation energy, resulting in a much promoted reaction probability and the integral charge generated from individual collisions. Besides, a plasmonic nanoparticle filtering method is established to effectively distinguish different plasmonic nanoparticles. This work provides a unique view in understanding the intrinsic physicochemical properties for PEEC at the nano-confined domains.

Abstract
Efficient antibacterial therapy holds great promise for human health. However, it is often limited by the insufficient activity of antibacterial agents. Herein, we demonstrate that the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excitation of gold nanostars (AuNSs) can dramatically improve the antibacterial activity of a Zn-metal-organic frameworks (Zn-MOFs) nanosheet, which exhibits higher ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) (∼2.5-fold) for bacterial inactivation under light irradiation. Mechanistic investigations demonstrate that the enhancement is closely related to a plasmon-induced "dual excited synergistic effect". On the one hand, the Zn-MOFs nanosheets as photosensitive agents can be excited to generate ROS with bacterial toxicity. More importantly, abundant plasmonic hot electrons are generated on the surface of AuNSs upon LSPR excitation, which are then transferred from AuNSs into the Zn-MOFs due to the energy matching. As a result, the Zn-MOFs nanosheet presents an electron-rich condition, which activates the adsorbed O2 molecule into a transition state followed by its decomposition into ROS for bacterial inactivation. This study highlights the superiority of LSPR excitation on improving the antibacterial activity of MOFs and provides a novel strategy for effective antibacterial therapy.

Abstract
Although research progress on mimicking natural photosynthesis for solar-to-fuel conversion has been continuously made, exploring broadband spectral-responsive materials with suitable band positions and high stability still remains a huge challenge. Herein, we, for the first time, report novel AsP nanosheets (NSs) with P-type semiconducting property and enough negative conduction band, which can work as a stable near-infrared (NIR) region-responsive electron donor for water reductive hydrogen (H2) production. To mimic photosystem I, Au nanorods (NRs) act as electron transport media, which are also responsible for the enhanced electric field nearby, and 1T-MoS2 NSs as a hydrogen evolution catalyst are orderly coupled with AsP NSs with a sheet-rod-sheet structure by electrostatic self-assembly. The cascaded band level alignment enables unidirectional electron flow from AsP to Au and then to MoS2, and the optimum H2 production rate of the MoS2-Au-AsP ternary heterojunction reaches 125.52 μmol g-1 h-1 with good stability even after being stored for several months under light irradiation with a wavelength longer than 700 nm. This work provides a platform that is energetically tailored to drive a solar broad-spectrum fuel generation, including CO2 reduction and N2 fixation.

Abstract
Precisely detecting the catalysts' hot spots temperature in situ instantly during photocatalysis is a great challenge but extremely important for chemical reactions. However, no efficient method has been developed to instantly detect the hot spots temperature in situ during photocatalysis. Herein, we designed a simple and convenient method to measure the instant hot spots temperature in situ on the nanostructure surface during photocatalysis by operando Raman spectroscopy using 4-methoxyphenyl isocyanide (MI) as the probe molecule. The νN≡C frequency of MI varied linearly with temperature, which is caused by the orientation change of the MI induced by temperature, leading to the change in the frequency of the νN≡C bond that directly interacts with the nanostructure surface. Using in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), the surface temperature of the catalysts illuminating for each time can be measured instantly. Interestingly, the catalytic activity of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for the Au-Ag/Ag2S heterojunction nanorods (HJNRs) are higher than that for the Ag-Au-Ag HJNRs, although they have a lower surface temperature during photocatalysis; therefore, hot carriers and electronic structure contributed more to the catalytic activity of the Au-Ag/Ag2S HJNRs than that of the Ag-Au-Ag HJNRs. Such an instant hot spots temperature detecting method of catalysts can greatly facilitate the analysis of the mechanism of catalytic processes.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape and adjustable plasmonic properties. With the continuous improvement in synthetic methods, a variety of materials have been attached around Au NRs to achieve unexpected or improved plasmonic properties and explore state-of-the-art technologies. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest progress on Au NRs, the most versatile anisotropic plasmonic NPs. We present a representative overview of the advances in the synthetic strategies and outline an extensive catalogue of Au-NR-based heterostructures with tailored architectures and special functionalities. The bottom-up assembly of Au NRs into preprogrammed metastructures is then discussed, as well as the design principles. We also provide a systematic elucidation of the different plasmonic properties associated with the Au-NR-based structures, followed by a discussion of the promising applications of Au NRs in various fields. We finally discuss the future research directions and challenges of Au NRs.

Abstract
MoS2-based heterostructures have received increasing attention for not only surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) but also for enhanced photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) performance. This study presents a hydrothermal method for preparing vertical MoS2 nanosheets composed of in situ grown AuNPs with small size and chemically reduced AgNPs with large size to achieve the synergistic enhancement of SERS and PEC properties owing to the size effect of the plasmonic structure. Compared with pristine MoS2 nanosheets and unitary AuNPs or AgNPs composited with MoS2 nanosheets, the ternary heterostructure exhibited the strongest electromagnetic field and surface plasmon coupling, which was confirmed by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation and absorption spectra. In addition, the experimental results confirmed the outstanding SERS enhancement with an EF of 1.1×109, and the most efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity with a sensitive photocurrent response, attributing to the multiple surface plasmonic coupling effects of the Au-Ag bimetal and efficient charge-transfer process between MoS2 and the bimetal. That is, it provides a robust method for developing multi-size bimetal-semiconductor complex nanocomposites for high-performance SERS sensors and PEC applications.

Abstract
MoS2-plasmonic hybrid platforms have attracted significant interest in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and plasmon-driven photocatalysis. However, direct contact between the metal and MoS2 creates strain that deteriorates the electron transport across the metal/ MoS2 interfaces, which would affect the SERS effect and the catalytic performance. Here, the MoS2/graphene van der Waals heterojunctions (vdWHs) were fabricated and combined with two-layered gold nanoparticles (Au NP) for SERS and plasmon-driven photocatalysis analyse. The graphene film is introduced to provide an effective buffer layer between Au NP and MoS2, which not only eliminates the inhomogeneous contact on MoS2 but also benefits the electron transfer. The substrate exhibits excellent SERS capability realizing ultra-sensitive detection for 4-pyridinethiol molecules. Also, the surface catalytic reaction of p-nitrothiophenol (PNTP) to p,p-dimercaptobenzene (DMAB) conversion was in situ monitored, demonstrating that the vdWHs-plasmonic hybrid could effectively accelerate reaction process. The mechanism of the SERS and catalytic behaviors are investigated via experiments combined with theoretical simulations (finite element method and quantum chemical calculations).

Abstract
Efficient hydrogen evolution by electrolysis plays an indispensable role for hydrogen fuel generation in green energy devices. In order to implement high-performance electrocatalytic activity, it is usually necessary to design economically viable, effective and stable electrocatalysts to reduce activation potential barriers. Herein, we report the photosensitive Ni-WS2nanohybrids for enhanced electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Optimisation of chemical composition in catalysts has resulted in the rapid water electrolysis which was further promoted by illumination of 532 nm light. Obvious HER has been achieved at over potential of as low as -210 mV versus RHE without and -190 mV versus RHE (at -10 mA cm-2) with illumination. Being a photosensitive electrocatalysts, Ni-WS2Nanohybrids have demonstrated stable time-resolved photoresponse with photocurrent of 12.7 mA cm-2at -250 mV V versus RHE as well as self-powered photodetection with current 0.68 mA cm-2. Finally, HER with improvement under visible light illumination has shown considerable development in clean energy generation by using renewable energy sources.

Abstract
Breaking the bottleneck of hydrogen oxidation/evolution reactions (HOR/HER) in alkaline media is of tremendous importance for the development of anion exchange membrane fuel cells/water electrolyzers. Atomically dispersed active sites are known to exhibit excellent activity and selectivity toward diverse catalytic reactions. Here, a class of unique Rh2 Sb nanocrystals with multiple nanobranches (denoted as Rh2 Sb NBs) and atomically dispersed Rh sites are reported as promising electrocatalysts for alkaline HOR/HER. Rh2 Sb NBs/C exhibits superior HER performance with a low overpotential and a small Tafel slope, outperforming both Rh NBs/C and commercial Pt/C. Significantly, Rh2 Sb NBs show outstanding HOR performance of which the HOR specific activity and mass activity are about 9.9 and 10.1 times to those of Rh NBs/C, and about 4.2 and 3.7 times to those of Pt/C, respectively. Strikingly, Rh2 Sb NBs can also exhibit excellent CO tolerance during HOR, whose activity can be largely maintained even at 100 ppm CO impurity. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the unsaturated Rh sites on Rh2 Sb NBs surface are crucial for the enhanced alkaline HER and HOR activities. This work provides a unique catalyst design for efficient hydrogen electrocatalysis, which is critical for the development of alkaline fuel cells and beyond.

Abstract
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is well known for its unique ability to tune the reactivity of plasmonic materials via photoexcitation; however, it is still an open question as to whether plasmonic holes can be directly extracted to drive valuable chemical reactions. Herein we give an affirmative answer by reporting an illumination-enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using CuS nanodisks (NDs) alone as the electrocatalyst. Impressively, under 1221 nm laser or xenon lamp illumination, an unprecedented reduction of OER overpotential was observed on the CuS ND-coated electrodes. Transient absorption combined with Mott-Schottky measurements disclosed that near-infrared (NIR) irradiation generated abundant hot holes from LSPR damping in the CuS NDs accounting for the remarkable OER performance enhancement. This is the first report on the direct utilization of plasmonic hot holes in CuS nanomaterials for boosting OER performance, opening up a new route to designing NIR-active photocatalysts/electrocatalysts by exploiting the unique LSPR properties.

Abstract
Using a combination of time-domain density functional theory and nonadiabatic (NA) molecular dynamics, we demonstrate that the replacement of noble Pt with cheap Sn in the Pt nanoparticles sensitized MoS2 greatly retards the photoexcited "hot" electron relaxation. The simulations show that Sn substitution causes significant geometry distortion associated with the Sn dopant detaching from the Pt nanoparticle base, which decreases the NA coupling and creates an isolated trap state distant from the electron donor state. Generally, smaller NA coupling delays "hot" electron relaxation. At the same time, the photoexcited electron on MoS2 first populates the nanoparticles state and then slowly goes to the trap state, following relaxation to the nanoparticle acceptor state over 1 ps. As a result, the "hot" electron lives over 3.5 times longer than that in pristine Pt/MoS2 system. The long-lived "hot" electron associated with the reduced cost establishes a novel concept for developing high-efficient and cost-effective photocatalysts and photovoltaics.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), serving as precursors or templated to construct nanomaterials, which have gained great attentions in the field of electrocatalysis. However, their applications still remain some challenges due to poor conductivity and easy agglomeration. In this work, the MOFs-derived NiCo2S4@NiCo2O4 deposited on reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) surface is designed by using a facile hydrothermal procedure. Attribute to the enlarged active surface area of the nanostructure and the strong synergistic effect between NiCo2S4 and NiCo2O4, as well as the excellent conductivity of rGO. The NiCo2S4@NiCo2O4-rGO catalyst displays ultrahigh hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) property and excellent stability, only need an overpotential of η10 = 95 mV to attain 10 mA cm-2 and deliver a small Tafel slope of b = 52 mV dec-1 in 1 M KOH. This work can provide a window to construct and develop new noble metal-free HER catalysts base on Ni-MOFs served as precursors.

Abstract
Photoassisted electrocatalytic (P-EC) water splitting for H2 production has received much attention. Here, we report a metal-free bifunctional photoassisted catalyst of a polyaniline/carbon dots (PANI/CDs) composite for overall water splitting. In a neutral electrolyte, under visible light, the overpotentials of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for PANI/CDs/NF are reduced by 150 and 65 mV to reach the current densities of 30 and 20 mA cm-2, respectively. In a full water-splitting cell, under visible light, the current density is 13.27 mA cm-2 at 2.0 V, which increases by 62.8% compared with that under the dark conditions (8.15 mA cm-2). The in situ transient photovoltage (TPV) tests were used to study the light-induced effects on half-reactions of water splitting, as well as the charge-transfer kinetic characteristics at the catalyst interface.

Abstract
Tuning metal-support interaction has been considered as an effective approach to modulate the electronic structure and catalytic activity of supported metal catalysts. At the atomic level, the understanding of the structure-activity relationship still remains obscure in heterogeneous catalysis, such as the conversion of water (alkaline) or hydronium ions (acid) to hydrogen (hydrogen evolution reaction, HER). Here, we reveal that the fine control over the oxidation states of single-atom Pt catalysts through electronic metal-support interaction significantly modulates the catalytic activities in either acidic or alkaline HER. Combined with detailed spectroscopic and electrochemical characterizations, the structure-activity relationship is established by correlating the acidic/alkaline HER activity with the average oxidation state of single-atom Pt and the Pt-H/Pt-OH interaction. This study sheds light on the atomic-level mechanistic understanding of acidic and alkaline HER, and further provides guidelines for the rational design of high-performance single-atom catalysts.

Abstract
Aprotic lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries have gained extensive interest in the past decade, but are plagued by slow reaction kinetics and induced large-voltage hysteresis. Herein, we use a plasmonic heterojunction of Au nanoparticle (NP)-decorated C3N4 with nitrogen vacancies (Au/NV-C3N4) as a bifunctional catalyst to promote oxygen cathode reactions of the visible light-responsive Li-O2 battery. The nitrogen vacancies on NV-C3N4 can adsorb and activate O2 molecules, which are subsequently converted to Li2O2 as the discharge product by photogenerated hot electrons from plasmonic Au NPs. While charging, the holes on Au NPs drive the reverse decomposition of Li2O2 with a reduced applied voltage. The discharge voltage of the Li-O2 battery with Au/NV-C3N4 is significantly raised to 3.16 V under illumination, exceeding its equilibrium voltage, and the decreased charge voltage of 3.26 V has good rate capability and cycle stability. This is ascribed to the plasmonic hot electrons on Au NPs pumped from the conduction bands of NV-C3N4 and the prolonged carrier life span of Au/NV-C3N4 This work highlights the vital role of plasmonic enhancement and sheds light on the design of semiconductors for visible light-mediated Li-O2 batteries and beyond.

Abstract
Modification of MoS2-based catalysts is effective in solving the overdependence of hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) on noble metal catalysts. In this work, a Zn-doped molybdenum disulfide-reduced graphene oxide (Zn-MoS2-RGO) hybrid was synthesized in one step employing a hydrothermal method. By substituting the position of Mo, uniform doping with Zn improved the catalytic activity of MoS2 for HER. The interlayer spacing of MoS2 increased from 0.65 to 0.75 nm, demonstrating RGO effectively interpolate into MoS2 nanosheets. This prevented aggregation and exposed more edge active sites of MoS2. According to density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the layered structure of the MoS2 nanosheets doped with Zn and intercalated with RGO promoted charge transfer and resulted in outstanding hydrogen evolution activity. Compared with MoS2 (6.86 eV), the Zn-MoS2-RGO hybrid (5.47 eV) with a considerably lower energy level value exhibited excellent electrocatalytic performance. Under optimal conditions, at a potential of -0.3 V vs. RHE, the current density reached -169 mA cm-2 in a 0.5 M H2SO4 solution, 4.78 μmol of H2 was produced in 6 h, and the Faraday efficiency reached 92%. The results obtained herein indicated that Zn-MoS2-RGO was a promising candidate for application in electrocatalytic HER.

Abstract
This paper reports that strongly coupled bimetallic core-shell nanoparticle arrays show photoelectrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). We fabricated large-area Cu-Pt nanoparticle lattices by combining top-down lithography and solution-based chemistry. These coupled lattices support two different types of plasmon modes, localized surface plasmons from individual particles and surface lattice resonances (SLRs) from the 2D lattice, that increased HER catalytic activity under white-light illumination up to 60%. Comparing photoelectrocatalytic performances of the two plasmon modes at different wavelength ranges, we found that SLRs had two-fold activity enhancement over that from localized surface plasmons.

Abstract
The development of novel electrocatalysts, especially Pt-free electrocatalysts, is of great significance for evolving hydrogen fuel cells. Two-dimensional materials have many advantages, such as large specific surface area, abundant active edges, and adjustable electronic structure, which provide broad prospects for studying high-performance electrocatalysts. In this paper, Cu2-xS@Au2S@Au nanoplates (NPs) were synthesized by cation exchange, which showed good catalytic performance toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Dark-field microscopy can help observe the process of cation exchange in real time to precisely control the synthesis of the composite materials. The synthesized Cu2-xS@Au2S@Au nanoplates (NPs) exhibited greatly enhanced plasmonic emission, resulting in accelerated chemical conversion and improved HER efficiency. Under 532 nm laser excitation, the overpotential of the HER shifted from 152 to 96 mV at a current density of -10 mA cm-2. The plasmonic nanocatalysts show exciting prospects in the field of new energy resources.

Abstract
The ability to develop highly active and low-cost electrocatalysts represents an important endeavor toward accelerating sluggish water-oxidation kinetics. Herein, we report the implementation and unraveling of the photothermal effect of spinel nanoparticles (NPs) on promoting dynamic active-sites generation to markedly enhance their oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity via an integrated operando Raman and density functional theory (DFT) study. Specifically, NiFe2O4 (NFO) NPs are first synthesized by capitalizing on amphiphilic star-like diblock copolymers as nanoreactors. Upon the near-infrared light irradiation, the photothermal heating of the NFO-based electrode progressively raises the temperature, accompanied by a marked decrease of overpotential. Accordingly, only an overpotential of 309 mV is required to yield a high current density of 100 mA cm-2, greatly lower than recently reported earth-abundant electrocatalysts. More importantly, the photothermal effect of NFO NPs facilitates surface reconstruction into high-active oxyhydroxides at lower potential (1.36 V) under OER conditions, as revealed by operando Raman spectroelectrochemistry. The DFT calculation corroborates that these reconstructed (Ni,Fe)oxyhydroxides are electrocatalytically active sites as the kinetics barrier is largely reduced over pure NFO without surface reconstruction. Given the diversity of materials (metal oxides, sulfides, phosphides, etc.) possessing the photo-to-thermal conversion, this effect may thus provide a unique and robust platform to boost highly active surface species in nanomaterials for a fundamental understanding of enhanced performance that may underpin future advances in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, solar-energy conversion, and renewable-energy production.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanomaterials coupled with catalytically active surfaces can provide unique opportunities for various catalysis applications, where surface plasmons produced upon proper light excitation can be adopted to drive and/or facilitate various chemical reactions. A brief introduction to the localized surface plasmon resonance and recent design and fabrication of highly efficient plasmonic nanostructures, including plasmonic metal nanostructures and metal/semiconductor heterostructures is given. Taking advantage of these plasmonic nanostructures, the following highlights summarize recent advances in plasmon-driven photochemical reactions (coupling reactions, O2 dissociation and oxidation reactions, H2 dissociation and hydrogenation reactions, N2 fixation and NH3 decomposition, and CO2 reduction) and plasmon-enhanced electrocatalytic reactions (hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, alcohol oxidation reaction, and CO2 reduction). Theoretical and experimental approaches for understanding the underlying mechanism of surface plasmon are discussed. A proper discussion and perspective of the remaining challenges and future opportunities for plasmonic nanomaterials and plasmon-related chemistry in the field of energy conversion and storage is given in conclusion.

Abstract
Thiolate-protected metal nanoclusters, which are smaller than 2 nm and have a specific number of metal atoms, have been greatly investigated in areas such as catalysis, sensing, and energy conversion because of their unique chemical, optical, structural, and electronic properties. Doping monometallic nanoclusters with another metal offers the opportunity to enhance these properties even further. The atomic structure of thiolate-protected bimetallic nanoclusters has been thoroughly studied using various X-ray methods, but the electronic structures of these complexes are often under-discussed. This Perspective summarizes works examining the electronic properties (charge states and energy levels) of these materials using density functional theory, square-wave voltammetry, UV-vis spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This information is then related to the catalytic activities of these complexes in various representative reactions (e.g., carbon-carbon coupling, hydrogenation, and oxidation). The significance of the structure-property relationship between the electronic properties and the catalytic performance of thiolate-protected bimetallic nanoclusters is demonstrated.

Abstract
Emerging technologies in the field of environmental remediation are becoming increasingly significant owing to the increasing demand for eliminating significant amounts of pollution in water, soil, and air. We designed and synthesized MoS2/Fe2O3 heterojunction nanocomposites (NCs) as multifunctional materials that are easily separated and reused. The trace detection performance of the prepared sample was examined using bisphenol A (BPA) as the probe molecule, with limits of detection as low as 10-9 M; this detection limit is the lowest among all reported semiconductor substrates. BPA was subjected to rapid photocatalytic degradation by MoS2/Fe2O3 NCs under ultraviolet irradiation. The highly recyclable MoS2/Fe2O3 NCs exhibited photo-Fenton catalytic activity for BPA and good detection ability when reused as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate after catalysis. The SERS and photocatalysis mechanisms were proposed while considering the effects of the Z-scheme charge-transfer paths, three-dimensional flower-like structures, and dipole-dipole coupling. Moreover, the prepared MoS2/Fe2O3 NCs were successfully applied in the detection of BPA in real lake water and milk samples. Herein, we present insights into the development of MoS2/Fe2O3 materials, which can be used as multifunctional materials in chemical sensors and in photocatalytic wastewater treatments for the removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants.

Abstract
Direct methanol oxidation is expected to play a central role in low-polluting future power sources. However, the sluggish and complex electro-oxidation of methanol is one of the limiting factors for any practical application. To solve this issue, the use of plasmonic is considered as a promising way to accelerate the methanol oxidation reaction. In this study, we report on a novel approach for achieving enhanced methanol oxidation currents. Perforated gold thin film anodes were decorated with Pt/Ru via electrochemical deposition and investigated for their ability for plasmon-enhanced electrocatalytic methanol oxidation in alkaline media. The novel methanol oxidation anode (AuNHs/PtRu), combining the strong light absorption properties of a gold nanoholes array-based electrode (AuNHs) with surface-anchored bimetallic Pt/Ru nanostructures, known for their high activity toward methanol oxidation, proved to be highly efficient in converting methanol via the hot holes generated in the plasmonic electrode. Without light illumination, AuNHs/PtRu displayed a maximal current density of 13.7 mA/cm2 at -0.11 V vs Ag/AgCl. Enhancement to 17.2 mA/cm2 was achieved under 980 nm laser light illumination at a power density of 2 W/cm2. The thermal effect was negligible in this system, underlining a dominant plasmon process. Fast generation and injection of charge carriers were also evidenced by the abrupt change in the current density upon laser irradiation. The good stability of the interface over several cycles makes this system interesting for methanol electro-oxidation.

Abstract
As an important damping way of the light absorption of plasmonic nanoparticles, the d-sp interband transition within the short wavelength regime has been recently drawing attentions in photochemistry. Compared with the intraband Landau damping, the d-sp interband transition excited carriers have larger populations and longer relaxation times, which is promising to match the photochemical reactions in time scale. Here, we propose a novel approach to the growth of plasmonic gold nanoparticles more efficiently promoted by d-sp interband transition excited charge carriers than by plasmon excited carriers. It is founded that photochemical growth of plasmonic gold nanoparticles can be modulated by engineering the electrochemical potential of precursor using different surfactants. From the distribution of surfactant on a single gold nanoparticle revealed by nanoscale resolved IR mapping, a reasonable photochemical reaction mechanism mediated by d-sp interband excitation is suggested. The results highlight the importance of d-sp interband transition excited carriers in photochemical reactions especially for materials science.

Abstract
The growth of atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADMCs) remains a great challenge owing to the thermodynamically driven atom aggregation. Here we report a surface-limited electrodeposition technique that uses site-specific substrates for the rapid and room-temperature synthesis of ADMCs. We obtained ADMCs by the underpotential deposition of a non-noble single-atom metal onto the chalcogen atoms of transition metal dichalcogenides and subsequent galvanic displacement with a more-noble single-atom metal. The site-specific electrodeposition enables the formation of energetically favorable metal-support bonds, and then automatically terminates the sequential formation of metallic bonding. The self-terminating effect restricts the metal deposition to the atomic scale. The modulated ADMCs exhibit remarkable activity and stability in the hydrogen evolution reaction compared to state-of-the-art single-atom electrocatalysts. We demonstrate that this methodology could be extended to the synthesis of a variety of ADMCs (Pt, Pd, Rh, Cu, Pb, Bi, and Sn), showing its general scope for functional ADMCs manufacturing in heterogeneous catalysis.
