Abstract
We demonstrate the design strategy of free-standing Au nanocatalysts by correlating their physicochemical characteristics with photocatalytic performance. By tailoring the particle size and surface characteristics, we found that small Au nanocatalysts called Au nanoclusters with discrete energy levels are more effective than large metallic Au nanoparticles, while the microenvironments (e.g., charge status and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity) around the surface of Au-nanoclusters are crucial in determining the performance. With the optimized Au nanocatalyst, under visible light, decarboxylative radical addition reactions for C-C bond formation (i.e., Giese reaction) were first achieved with high yields and further utilized for the preparation of one of the bioactive γ-aminobutyric acid derivatives, pregabalin (Lyrica®), demonstrating its potential in pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Fingerprint Raman features of para-aminothiophenol (pATP) in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra have been widely used to measure plasmon-driven catalytic activities because the appearance of characteristic spectral features is purported to be due to plasmon-induced chemical transformation of pATP to trans-p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (trans-DMAB). Here, we present a thorough comparison of SERS spectra for pATP and trans-DMAB in the extended range of frequencies covering group vibrations, skeletal vibrations, and external vibrations under various conditions. Although the fingerprint vibration modes of pATP could be almost mistaken with those of trans-DMAB, the low-frequency vibrations revealed distinct differences between pATP and DMAB. Photo-induced spectral changes of pATP in the fingerprint region were explained well by photo-thermal variation of the Au-S bond configuration, which affects the degree of the metal-to-molecule charge transfer resonance. This finding indicates that a large number of reports in the field of plasmon-mediated photochemistry must be reconsidered.

Abstract
Silver nanobars have attracted much attention due to their distinctive localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the visible and near-infrared regions. In this work, large-size Ag nanobars (length: 400~1360 nm) working at a longer-wavelength near-infrared range (>1000 nm) have been synthesized. By using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation, the LSPR properties of a single large-size Ag nanobar are systematically investigated. The LSPR in Ag nanobar can be flexibly tuned in a wide wavelength range (400~2000 nm) by changing the bar length or etching the bar in the length direction. Our work provides a flexible way to fabricate nanoparticle arrays using large-size nanobars and throws light on the applications of large-size nanomaterials on wide spectral absorbers, LSPR-based sensors and nanofilters.

Abstract
Plasmon-assisted chemistry is the result of a complex interplay between electromagnetic near fields, heat and charge transfer on the nanoscale. The disentanglement of their roles is non-trivial. Therefore, a thorough knowledge of the chemical, structural and spectral properties of the plasmonic/molecular system being used is required. Specific techniques are needed to fully characterize optical near fields, temperature and hot carriers with spatial, energetic and/or temporal resolution. The timescales for all relevant physical and chemical processes can range from a few femtoseconds to milliseconds, which necessitates the use of time-resolved techniques for monitoring the underlying dynamics. In this Review, we focus on experimental techniques to tackle these challenges. We further outline the difficulties when going from the ensemble level to single-particle measurements. Finally, a thorough understanding of plasmon-assisted chemistry also requires a substantial joint experimental and theoretical effort.

Abstract
Utilizing plasmon-generated hot carriers to drive chemical reactions has currently become an active area of research in solar photocatalysis at the nanoscale. However, the mechanism underlying exact transfer and the generation dynamics of hot carriers, and the strategies used to further improve the quantum efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction still deserve further investigation. In this work, we perform a nonadiabatic excited-state dynamics study to depict the correlation between the reaction rate of plasmon-driven water splitting (PDWS) and the sizes of gold particles, the incident light frequency and intensity, and the near-field spatial distribution. Four model systems, H2O and Au20@H2O separately interacting with the laser field and the near field generated by the Au nanoparticle (NP) with a few nanometers in size, have been investigated. Our simulated results clearly unveil the mechanism of PDWS and hot-electron injection in a Schottky-free junction: the electrons populated on the antibonding orbitals of H2O are mandatory to drive the OH bond breaking and the strong orbital hybridization between Au20 and H2O creates the conditions for direct electron injection. We further find that the linear dependence of the reaction rate and the field amplitude only holds at a relatively weak field and it breaks down when the second OH bond begins to dissociate and field-induced water fragmentation occurs at a very intensive field, and that with the guarantee of electron injection, the water splitting rate increases with an increase in the NP size. This study will be helpful for further improving the efficiency of photochemical reactions involving plasmon-generated hot carriers and expanding the applications of hot carriers in a variety of chemical reactions.

Abstract
Utilizing plasmon-generated hot carriers to drive chemical reactions has emerged as a popular topic in solar photocatalysis. However, a complete description of the underlying mechanism of hot-carrier transfer in photochemical processes remains elusive, particularly for those involving hot holes. Photoelectrochemistry enables to localize hot holes on photoanodes and hot electrons on photocathodes and thus offers an approach to separately explore the hole-transfer dynamics and electron-transfer dynamics. This review summarizes a comprehensive understanding of both hot-hole and hot-electron transfers from photoelectrochemical studies on plasmonic electrodes. Additionally, working principles and applications of spectroelectrochemistry are discussed for plasmonic materials. It is concluded that photoelectrochemistry provides a powerful toolbox to gain mechanistic insights into plasmonic photocatalysis.

Abstract
We developed a photoanode consisting of Au‐Ag alloy nanoparticles (NPs), a TiO2 thin film and a Au film (AATA) under modal strong coupling conditions with a large splitting energy of 520 meV, which can be categorized into the ultrastrong coupling regime. We fabricated a photoanode under ultrastrong coupling conditions to verify the relationship between the coupling strength and photoelectric conversion efficiency and successfully performed efficient photochemical reactions. The AATA photoanode showed a 4.0 % maximum incident photon‐to‐current efficiency (IPCE), obtained at 580 nm, and the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) was 4.1 %. These results were attributed to the high hot‐electron injection efficiency due to the larger near‐field enhancement and relatively negative potential distribution of the hot electrons. Furthermore, hybrid mode‐induced water oxidation using AATA structures was performed, with a Faraday efficiency of more than 70 % for O2 evolution.

Abstract
Photochemical water splitting offers a useful solution for efficient energy conversion into hydrogen gas. Hematite has been focused on this purpose as the photoanode due to the advantages of low-cost, chemical stability, and suitable bandgap. The photocatalytic ability, however, is limited by the short-lived carriers and lack of photoresponse in the near infrared (NIR) region. As a solution, combining hematite with a noble metal can enhance the photocatalytic performance toward longer wavelength. Gold nanoparticles indicate characteristic absorption in the visible and NIR regions and photo-induced injection of electrons into the semiconductor. In this study, a hybrid material of hematite photoanodes with gold nanostructures was fabricated and the carrier dynamics under NIR excitation was elucidated by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The observed strong positive absorption under NIR excitation of Au nanorods (NRs) on the hematite anode indicated an increased electron density in hematite due to electron transfer from AuNRs, demonstrating efficient charge carrier generation in hematite by the decorated gold nanostructure.

Abstract
Plasmonic photocatalysts driven by the localized surface plasmon resonance excitation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) can be efficient solar-to-chemical converters due to their wide spectral response. This review article highlights recent studies on plasmonic water splitting and H2O2 synthesis from water and oxygen (O2) with a particular emphasis placed on the electrocatalysis of Au NPs. The Introduction (Section 1) points to the importance of the establishment of solar hydrogen and oxygen cycles involving hydrogen (H2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the key compound, respectively, for realizing a "sustainable society". Section 2 deals with the basic action mechanisms of Au NP-based plasmonic photocatalysts. Section 3 treats the electrocatalytic activity of Au NPs for the half-reactions involved in the reactions. Section 4 describes recent advances in the plasmonic overall water splitting (4.1) and H2O2 synthesis (4.2). Finally, a summary is presented with the possible development direction in Section 5.

Abstract
In the last two decades, plasmon resonance in gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) has been the subject of intense research efforts. Plasmon physics is intriguing and its precise modelling proved to be challenging. In fact, plasmons are highly responsive to a multitude of factors, either intrinsic to the Au NPs or from the environment, and recently the need emerged for the correction of standard electromagnetic approaches with quantum effects. Applications related to plasmon absorption and scattering in Au NPs are impressively numerous, ranging from sensing to photothermal effects to cell imaging. Also, plasmon-enhanced phenomena are highly interesting for multiple purposes, including, for instance, Raman spectroscopy of nearby analytes, catalysis, or sunlight energy conversion. In addition, plasmon excitation is involved in a series of advanced physical processes such as non-linear optics, optical trapping, magneto-plasmonics, and optical activity. Here, we provide the general overview of the field and the background for appropriate modelling of the physical phenomena. Then, we report on the current state of the art and most recent applications of plasmon resonance in Au NPs.

Abstract
A simple and feasible electrochemical immunosensing platform was developed for highly efficient screening of a disease-related protein (human carbohydrate antigen 19-9, CA 19-9 used in this case) using silver-functionalized g-C3N4 nanosheets (Ag/g-C3N4) as signal-transduction tags. Initially, Ag/g-C3N4 nanohybrids were synthesized by combining thermal polymerization of the melamine precursor with the photo-assisted reduction method. Thereafter, the as-synthesized Ag/g-C3N4 nanohybrids were utilized for the labeling of the anti-CA 19-9 detection antibody by using a typical carbodiimide coupling method. The assay was carried out on a capture antibody-modified glassy carbon electrode in a sandwich-type detection mode. The detectable signal mainly derived from the voltammetric characteristics of the immobilized nanosilver particles on the g-C3N4 nanosheets within the applied potentials. Under the optimal conditions, the voltammetric peak currents increased with the increasing amount of target CA 19-9, and exhibited a wide linear range from 5.0 mU mL(-1) to 50 U mL(-1) with a detection limit of 1.2 mU mL(-1). Our strategy also displayed good reproducibility, precision and specificity. The results of the analysis of clinical serum specimens were in good accordance with the results obtained by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The newly developed immunosensing system is promising for enzyme-free and cost-effective analysis of low-abundance proteins.
