Abstract
Plasmon-driven reactions on metal nanoparticles feature rich and complex mechanistic contributions, involving a manifold of electronic states, near-field enhancement, and heat, among others. Although localized surface plasmon resonances are believed to initiate these reactions, the complex reactivity demands deeper exploration. This computational study investigates factors influencing chemical processes on plasmonic nanoparticles, exemplified by protonation of 4-mercaptopyridine (4-MPY) on silver nanoparticles. We examine the impact of molecular binding modes and molecule-molecule interactions on the nanoparticle's surface, near-field electromagnetic effects, and charge-transfer phenomena. Two proton sources were considered at ambient conditions, molecular hydrogen and water. Our findings reveal that the substrate's binding mode significantly affects not only the energy barriers governing the thermodynamics and kinetics of the reaction but also determine the directionality of light-driven charge-transfer at the 4-MPY-Ag interface, pivotal in the chemical contribution involved in the reaction mechanism. In addition, significant field enhancement surrounding the adsorbed molecule is observed (eletromagnetic contribution) which was found insufficient to modify the ground state thermodynamics. Instead, it initiates and amplifies light-driven charge-transfer and thus modulates the excited states' reactivity in the plasmonic-molecular hybrid system. This research elucidates protonation mechanisms on silver surfaces, highlighting the role of molecular-surface and molecule-molecule-surface orientation in plasmon-catalysis.

Abstract
Solution-based nanoparticle assembly represents a highly promising way to build functional metastructures based on a wealth of synthetic nanomaterial building blocks with well-controlled morphology and crystallinity. In particular, the involvement of DNA molecular programming in these bottom-up processes gradually helps the ambitious goal of customizable chemical nanofabrication. However, a fundamental challenge is to realize strong interunit coupling in an assembly toward emerging functions and applications. Herein, we present a unified and clean strategy to address this critical issue based on a H2O2-redox-driven "assembly and healing" process. This facile solution route is able to realize both capacitively coupled and conductively bridged colloidal boundaries, simply switchable by the reaction temperature, toward bottom-up nanoplasmonic engineering. In particular, such a "green" process does not cause surface contamination of nanoparticles by exogenous active metal ions or strongly passivating ligands, which, if it occurs, could obscure the intrinsic properties of as-formed structures. Accordingly, previously raised questions regarding the activities of strongly coupled plasmonic structures are clarified. The reported process is adaptable to DNA nanotechnology, offering molecular programmability of interparticle charge conductance. This work represents a new generation of methods to make strongly coupled nanoassemblies, offering great opportunities for functional colloidal technology and even metal self-healing.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology offers an unrivaled programmability of plasmonic nanoassemblies based on encodable Watson-Crick basepairing. However, it is very challenging to build rigidified three-dimensional supracolloidal assemblies with strong electromagnetic coupling and a self-confined exterior shape. We herein report an alternative strategy based on a DNA condensation reaction to make such structures. Using DNA-grafted gold nanoparticles as building blocks and metal ions with suitable phosphate affinities as abiological DNA-bonding agents, a seedless growth of spheroidal supraparticles is realized via metal-ion-induced DNA condensation. Some governing rules are disclosed in this process, including kinetic and thermodynamic effects stemming from electrostatic and coordinative forces with different interaction ranges. The supraballs are tailorable by adjusting the volumetric ratio between DNA grafts and gold cores and by overgrowing extra gold layers toward tunable plasmon coupling. Various appealing and highly desirable properties are achieved for the resulting metaballs, including (i) chemical reversibility and fixation ability, (ii) stability against denaturant, salt, and molecular adsorbates, (iii) enriched and continuously tunable plasmonic hotspots, (iv) permeability to small guest molecules and antifoulingness against protein contaminates, and (v) Raman-enhancing and photocatalytic activities. Innovative applications are thus foreseeable for this emerging class of meta-assemblies in contrast to what is achieved by DNA-basepaired ones.

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
Plasmon-mediated chemical reactions (PMCRs) have attracted considerable interest in recent times. The PMCR initiated by hot carriers is known to be influenced by the type of metals and the excitation wavelength. Herein, we have carried out the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) investigation of rhodanine (Rd), an important pharmacologically active heterocyclic compound, adsorbed on silver and gold nanoparticles (AgNP and AuNP) using 514.5 and 632.8 nm lasers. The prominent Raman band at 1566 cm-1 observed in the SERS spectra is attributed to the characteristic ν(C═C) stretching vibration of the Rd dimer and not of Rd tautomers. The chemical transformation of Rd to Rd dimer on metal surfaces is plausibly triggered by the indirect transfer of energetic hot electrons generated during the non-radiative decay of plasmon. The mechanism involved in the dimerization of Rd via the indirect transfer of hot electrons is also presented. The effect of wavelength on the dimerization of Rd is also observed on the AgNP surface, which indicates that the dimerization occurs more efficiently on the AgNP surface with excitation at 514.5 nm wavelength.

Abstract
Light induced electron transfer reactions of molecules on the surface of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) depend significantly on the electronic properties of the metal-organic interface. Hybridized metal-molecule states and dipoles at the interface alter the work function and facilitate or hinder electron transfer between the NPs and ligand. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements of isolated AuNPs coated with thiolated ligands in a vacuum have been performed as a function of photon energy, and the depth dependent information of the metal-organic interface has been obtained. The role of surface dipoles in the XPS measurements of isolated ligand coated NPs is discussed and the binding energy of the Au 4f states is shifted by around 0.8 eV in the outer atomic layers of 4-nitrothiophenol coated AuNPs, facilitating electron transport towards the molecules. Moreover, the influence of the interface dipole depends significantly on the adsorbed ligand molecules. The present study paves the way towards the engineering of the electronic properties of the nanoparticle surface, which is of utmost importance for the application of plasmonic nanoparticles in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis and solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Plasmonic CO2 methanation using γ-Al2O3-supported Ru nanorods was carried out under continuous-flow conditions without conventional heating, using mildly concentrated sunlight as the sole and sustainable energy source (AM 1.5, irradiance 5.5–14.4 kW·m−2 = 5.5–14.4 suns). Under 12.5 suns, a CO2 conversion exceeding 97% was achieved with complete selectivity towards CH4 and a stable production rate (261.9 mmol·gRu−1·h−1) for at least 12 h. The CH4 production rate showed an exponential increase with increasing light intensity, suggesting that the process was mainly promoted by photothermal heating. This was confirmed by the apparent activation energy of 64.3 kJ·mol−1, which is very similar to the activation energy obtained for reference experiments in dark (67.3 kJ·mol−1). The flow rate influence was studied under 14.4 suns, achieving a CH4 production plateau of 264 µmol min−1 (792 mmol·gRu−1·h−1) with a constant catalyst bed temperature of approximately 204 °C.

Abstract
The effect of several metal cations (Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+) on the photochemical conversion of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) into 4,4'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) is probed using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The coupling reaction is carried out on the surface of Au nanoparticles and Au nanorods using 532 nm and 632.8 nm laser excitations, respectively, in the absence and presence of metal cations. Here, we report that DMAB formation on the surface of Au nanostructures - when carried out in the solid state - is augmented significantly (by a factor of 1.98 to 4.07 and 3.34 to 5.74 for Au nanoparticle and Au nanorod substrates, respectively, and depending on the metal). Furthermore, the SERS signal is also markedly enhanced. Thus, the results underpin a new way of carrying out a photochemical reaction with a higher yield along with a higher SERS signal.

Abstract
A recent report on the azo coupling of 4-nitrobenzo-15-crown-ether (4NB15C) and 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) indicated that the reaction barrier could be reduced greatly with surface plasmonic effects on silver dendritic nanostructures in aqueous solution. Accordingly, an azo coupling reaction mechanism was proposed based on one or two SERS peaks. Toward a profound understanding of this azo coupling reaction mechanism, it is crucial to scrutinize the origin of the full SERS spectrum. Here, we construct a molecular model consisting of 4NTP and 4NB15C on an Ag7 cluster that simulates a silver dendritic nanostructure, and investigate the SERS spectra of the azo coupling of these two molecules. We propose five different adsorption sites and 13 different orientations of 4NTP on the Ag7 cluster and optimize the geometries of the five configurations. With each optimized configuration of 4NTP adsorbed on Ag7, we further consider the azo coupling product with a 4NB15C molecule and simulate the corresponding Raman spectra. Comparing the measured Raman spectra and model analysis, we conclude that the azo coupling reaction depends decisively on a parallel molecular orientation of the adsorbed 4NTP relative to the facets of Ag7, the orientation of which further directs the subsequent reaction for the product of 4NB15C-4NTP.

Abstract
Benefiting from the noble metal nanoparticle core and organic porous nanoshell, plasmonic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) become a nanostructure with great enhancement of the electromagnetic field and a high density of reaction sites, which has fantastic optical properties in surface plasmon-related fields. In this work, the plasmon-driven interfacial catalytic reactions involving p-aminothiophenol to 4,4'-dimercaptoazobenzene (trans-DMAB) in both the liquid and gaseous phases are studied in plasmonic MOF nanoparticles, which consist of a Ag nanoparticle core and an organic shell (ZIF-8). The surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) spectra recorded at the plasmonic MOF in an aqueous environment demonstrate that the reversible plasmon-driven interfacial catalytic reactions could be modulated by a reductant (NaBH4) or oxidant (H2O2). Also, the situ SERS spectra also point out that plasmonic MOF (AgNP@ZIF-8) nanoparticles exhibit much better catalytic performance in the H2O2 solution compared to pure Ag nanoparticles for the anti-oxidation caused by the MOF shell. It is surprising that although there is greater SERS enhancement obtained at pure Ag nanoparticles, the plasmon-driven interfacial catalytic reactions only occur at plasmonic AgNP@ZIF-8 nanoparticles in the gaseous phase. This interesting phenomenon is further confirmed and analyzed by simulated electromagnetic field distributions, which could be understood by the effective capture of gaseous molecules by the organic porous nanoshell. Our work not only explores the plasmonic MOF nanoparticles with unique optical properties but also strengthens the understanding of plasmon-driven interfacial catalytic reactions.

Abstract
This paper describes a rapid bottom-up approach to selectively functionalize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate using the plasmon confinement effect. The plasmonic substrates based on a AuNP-free surfactant were fabricated by electrochemical deposition. Using this bottom-up technique, many sub-30 nm spatial gaps between the deposited AuNPs were randomly generated on the ITO substrate, which is difficult to obtain with a top-down approach (i.e., E-beam lithography) due to its fabrication limits. The 4-Aminodiphenyl (ADP) molecules were grafted directly onto the AuNPs through a plasmon-induced reduction of the 4-Aminodiphenyl diazonium salts (ADPD). The ADP organic layer preferentially grew in the narrow gaps between the many adjacent AuNPs to create interconnected AuNPs. This novel strategy opens up an efficient technique for the localized surface modification at the nanoscale over a macroscopic area, which is anticipated to be an advanced nanofabrication technique.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-mediated thermal treatments have demonstrated high efficacy and versatility as a local anticancer strategy beyond traditional global hyperthermia. Nanoparticles act as heating generators that can trigger therapeutic responses at both the cell and tissue level. In some cases, treatment happens in the absence of a global temperature rise, damaging the tumor cells even more selectively than other nanotherapeutic strategies. The precise determination of the local temperature in the vicinity of such nanoheaters then stands at the heart of thermal approaches to better adjust the therapeutic thermal onset and reduce potential toxicity-related aspects. Herein, we describe an experimental procedure by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which directly and accurately infers the local temperature of gold-based nanoparticles, single and hybrid nanocrystals, upon laser photoexcitation, revealing significant nanothermal gradients. Such nanothermometric methodology based on the temperature-dependency of atomic parameters of nanoparticles can be extended to any nanosystem upon remote hyperthermal conditions.

Abstract
Gaining insight into the mode of operation of heterogeneous catalysts is of great scientific and economic interest. Raman spectroscopy has proven its potential as a powerful vibrational spectroscopic technique for a fundamental and molecular-level characterization of catalysts and catalytic reactions. Raman spectra provide important insight into reaction mechanisms by revealing specific information on the catalysts' (defect) structure in the bulk and at the surface, as well as the presence of adsorbates and reaction intermediates. Modern Raman instrumentation based on single-stage spectrometers allows high throughput and versatility in design of in situ/operando cells to study working catalysts. This review highlights major advances in the use of Raman spectroscopy for the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts made during the past decade, including the development of new methods and potential directions of research for applying Raman spectroscopy to working catalysts. The main focus will be on gas-solid catalytic reactions, but (photo)catalytic reactions in the liquid phase will be touched on if it appears appropriate. The discussion begins with the main instrumentation now available for applying vibrational Raman spectroscopy to catalysis research, including in situ/operando cells for studying gas-solid catalytic processes. The focus then moves to the different types of information available from Raman spectra in the bulk and on the surface of solid catalysts, including adsorbates and surface depositions, as well as the use of theoretical calculations to facilitate band assignments and to describe (resonance) Raman effects. This is followed by a presentation of major developments in enhancing the Raman signal of heterogeneous catalysts by use of UV resonance Raman spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and shell-isolated nanoparticle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). The application of time-resolved Raman studies to structural and kinetic characterization is then discussed. Finally, recent developments in spatially resolved Raman analysis of catalysts and catalytic processes are presented, including the use of coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). The review concludes with an outlook on potential future developments and applications of Raman spectroscopy in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Plasmonic gap-enhanced Raman tags (GERTs) are new emerging nanoprobes that, based on their unique surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) signal, can play a major role in complex imaging and detection of biological systems. GERTs are generated from a metal core nanostructure and layered with one or more metal nanosized layers, encasing a Raman active molecule. The advantages of GERTs are enhanced surface plasmon and electromagnetic resonance, as well as inherent protection of the Raman active molecule from environmental deterioration that could reduce their spectroscopic signatures over time. In this study, we used in vitro three-dimensional (3D) spheroid cultures to demonstrate these advantages. 3D spheroids mimic the in vivo tumor microenvironment better than 2D culture, with abundant extracellular matrix and hypoxia inducing variability of pH and enzymatic reactions. Here, we report the use of GERTs in large pancreatic 3D spheroids (>500 μm in apparent diameter) for complex penetration visualization. Our combined imaging technique of enhanced darkfield microscopy and SERS was able to identify the presence and distribution of the GERTs within the 3D spheroid structure. The distribution of GERTs 2 hours after the nanorods' incubation indicated accumulation, generally in the outermost layer of the spheroids but also, more randomly, in non-uniform patterns in deep layers of the 3D spheroids. These observations bring into question the mechanism of uptake and flow of the nanoparticles in function of their incubation time while demonstrating the promising potential of our approach. Additionally, the SERS signal was still detectable after 24 hours of incubation of GERTs with the 3D culture, indicating the stability of the Raman signal.

Abstract
Colloidal silica particles have received a widespread interest because of their potential applications in adsorption, ceramics, catalysis, drug delivery and more. Among many approaches towards fabrication of these colloidal particles, Stöber, Fink and Bohn (SFB) method, known as Stöber synthesis is an effective sol-gel strategy for production of uniform, monodispersed silica particles with highly tailorable size and surface properties. This review, after a brief introduction showing the importance of colloidal chemistry, is focused on the Stöber synthesis of silica spheres including discussion of the key factors affecting their particle size, porosity and surface properties. Next, further developments of this method are presented toward fabrication of polymer, carbon, and composite spheres.

Abstract
Silver nanoislands are key platforms for plasmonic photocatalysis, SERS sensing and optical metamaterials due to their localized surface plasmon resonances. The low intrinsic loss in Ag enables high local electromagnetic field enhancements. Solution-based fabrication techniques, while cheap, result in highly non-reproducible plasmonic substrates with wide sample-to-sample variability in geometry, optical resonances and Q-factors. Herein, we present a non-lithographic method of forming silver nanoislands based on sputter deposition of Ag films followed by elevated temperature annealing to induce spontaneous dewetting. The resulting plasmonic substrates show reproducible, well-defined LSPR resonances with high ensemble Q-factors whose optical properties could be modeled using spectroscopic ellipsometry to yield n and k values across the visible range. UV-Vis-NIR, and XRD analyses define the optical and crystallographic characteristics of the Ag nanoisland samples. FESEM was utilized to discern the geometry and architecture of the Ag nanoisland as well as their uniformity and monodispersity. Our vacuum deposited Ag nanoislands demonstrated excellent photocatalytic activity for the transformation of 4-nitrobenzenethiol (4-NBT) and 4-aminothiophenol (PATP) into p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB).

Abstract
The search for new plasmonic materials that are low-cost, chemically and thermally stable, and exhibit low optical losses has garnered significant attention among researchers. Recently, metal nitrides have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional, noble-metal-based plasmonic materials, such as silver and gold. Many of the initial studies on metal nitrides have focused on computational prediction of the plasmonic properties of these materials. In recent years, several synthetic methods have been developed to enable empirical analysis. This review highlights synthetic techniques for the preparation of plasmonic metal nitride nanoparticles, which are predominantly free-standing, by using solid-state and solid-gas phase reactions, nonthermal and arc plasma methods, and laser ablation. The physical properties of the nanoparticles, such as shape, size, crystallinity, and optical response, obtained with such synthetic methods are also summarized.

Abstract
Surface plasmons can provide a novel route to induce and simultaneously monitor selective bond formation and breakage. Here pH-induced protonation, followed by plasmon-induced deprotonation of 2-mercaptopyridine was investigated using surface- and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS and TERS). A large difference in the deprotonation rate between SERS and TERS will be demonstrated and discussed with respect to hot-spot distribution.

Abstract
The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Significant experimental and theoretical effort has been directed toward understanding the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and demonstrating its potential in various types of ultrasensitive sensing applications in a wide variety of fields. In the 45 years since its discovery, SERS has blossomed into a rich area of research and technology, but additional efforts are still needed before it can be routinely used analytically and in commercial products. In this Review, prominent authors from around the world joined together to summarize the state of the art in understanding and using SERS and to predict what can be expected in the near future in terms of research, applications, and technological development. This Review is dedicated to SERS pioneer and our coauthor, the late Prof. Richard Van Duyne, whom we lost during the preparation of this article.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) study carried on thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD), a pharmacologically active heterocyclic compound, points to the presence of TZD dimer formed by plasmon-induced dimerization reaction of TZD on the surface of silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) at TZD concentrations of 10-3 M and above. The evidence for the presence of dimer was obtained from the appearance of a prominent band at 1566 cm-1 corresponding to the ν(C═C) band (a characteristic vibrational band observed for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction products) which is absent in the normal Raman scattering (NRS) spectra of TZD solid/solution. The observed spectrum compares well with the calculated spectrum of dimer obtained using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The dimerization reaction is plausibly induced by the transfer of hot electrons generated by the nonradiative plasmon decay of Ag NP, and the proposed reaction mechanism is discussed. However, at lower concentrations (10-4-10-6 M), the characteristic dimer peak (1566 cm-1) is absent and the SERS spectra resemble more the NRS spectrum of TZD with a few changes. The spectral analysis supported by DFT calculations showed that TZD molecules undergo deprotonation and get adsorbed on the Ag NP surface as enolate forms. The proximity of TZD molecules on the surface of Ag NP is a necessary factor for the dimerization to occur. At lower concentrations, most molecules lie apart and reactions between molecules become less feasible, and they remain as monomers on the surface, while at higher concentrations the molecules are closer to each other on the Ag NP surface favoring the dimerization reaction to take place, leading to the formation of the dimer.

Abstract
In the field of surface plasmon-mediated photocatalysis, the coupling reactions of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) and p-nitrothiophenol (PNTP) to produce p, p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) are the most widely investigated systems. However, a clear understanding of the structure-function relationship is still required. Here, we used tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to study the coupling reactions of PATP and PNTP on well-defined Ag(111) and Au(111) surfaces using 632.8 and 532 nm lasers. On Au(111), the oxidative coupling of PATP can proceed under irradiation by a 632.8 nm laser, and the reductive coupling of PNTP can only occur under irradiation by a 532 nm laser. Neither wavelength of laser light can induce the coupling reactions of these two molecules on Ag(111). Density functional theory (DFT) was used to calculate the stable adsorption configurations of PATP and PNTP on Ag(111) and Au(111). Both the adsorption configurations of the two molecules on the surfaces and laser energies were, experimentally and theoretically, found to determine whether the coupling reactions can occur on different substrates. These results may help the rational design of photocatalysts with enhanced reactivity.

Abstract
The maximization of activity is a general aim in catalysis research. The possibility for light-triggered enhancement of a catalytic process, even if the process is not photochemical in nature, represents an intriguing concept. Here, we present a novel system for the exploration of the latter idea. A surfactant with a catalytically active head group, a protonated polyoxometalate (POM) cluster, is attached to the surface of a gold nanoparticle (Au NP) using thiol coupling chemistry. The distance of the catalytically active center to the gold surface could be adjusted precisely using surfactants containing hydrocarbon chains (C n) of different lengths ( n = 4-10). Radiation with VIS-light has no effect on the catalytic activity of micellar aggregates of the surfactant. The situation changes, as soon as the surfactants have been attached to the Au NPs. The catalytic activity could almost be doubled. It was proven that the effect is caused by coupling the surface plasmon resonance of the Au NPs with the properties of the POM head group. The improvement of activity could only be observed if the excitation wavelength matches the absorption band of the used Au NPs. Furthermore, the shorter the distance between the POM group and the surface of the NP, the stronger is the effect. This phenomenon was explained by lowering the activation energy of the transition state relevant to the catalytic process by the strong electric fields in the vicinity of the surfaces of plasmonic nanoparticles. Because the catalytic enhancement is wavelength-selective, one can imagine the creation of complex systems in the future, a system of differently sized NPs, each responsible for a different catalytic step and activated by light of different colors.

Abstract
A large number of literatures have investigated the selective photocatalytic reaction of 4-aminothiophenol (PATP) to p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB). Most of them mainly study the contribution of substrate, excitation wavelength, exposure time, pH and added cations to plasmon-assisted surface catalytic reactions. However, we mainly study focuses on the effects of solvents on the dimerization of PATP to DMAB under the action of Ag nanoparticles (NPs). In experiments, a variety of diols was selected as solvents for the probe molecule PATP, and power-dependent SERS spectra were obtained at an excitation wavelength of 532 nm. From the laser-dependent SERS spectrum, we found that the characteristic peak enhancement effect of the product DMAB in different solvents is significantly different. That is, different solvents could regulate the rate at which DMAB is produced from PATP. Based on the experimental results, we further explored how different diol solvents regulate the response of PATP to DMAB. Our conclusion is that the solvent in the system can quickly capture the hot electrons generated by the decay of the plasmon, so that the remaining holes can oxidize PATP to form DMAB. The ability to trap hot electrons is different due to the difference in the position of the functional groups in the solvent, so that the photocatalytic reaction rate of the hole-oxidized PATP is different. The ability to capture electrons varies depending on the position of the functional groups in the solvent, so the oxidation rate of the photocatalytic reaction is also different. This work not only deepens our understanding of the mechanism of hole-driven surface catalysis oxidation reaction, but also provides a convenient method for regulating the rate of catalytic oxidation.

Abstract
A commercial electron energy-loss spectrometer (EELS) attached to a high-resolution cold-field emission scanning electron microscope in transmission mode (STEM) is evaluated and its potential for characterizing materials science thin specimens at low accelerating voltage is reviewed. Despite the increased beam radiation damage at SEM voltages on sensitive compounds, we describe some potential applications which benefit from lowering the primary electrons voltage on less-sensitive specimens. We report bandgap measurements on several dielectrics which were facilitated by the lack of Cherenkov radiation losses at 30 kV. The possibility of volume plasmon imaging to probe local composition changes in complex materials was demonstrated using energy-filtered STEM, either via spectrum imaging or elemental mapping using the "three-windows" method. As plasmonic materials are increasing used for energy, electronics or biomedical applications, the ability of reliably evaluate their properties at low accelerating voltage in a SEM is very appealing and is demonstrated. The energy resolution of the spectrometer, taken as the full width at half maximum of the zero-loss peak, was routinely measured at around 0.55 eV and it is demonstrated that t/λ ratios up to 1.5 allowed practical EEL spectroscopy at 30 kV.

Abstract
Five major reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated in diseases including H2O2, •OH, O2•-, ROO•, and 1O2. Simultaneous detection of the five ROS with a single probe is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the development and progression of many diseases, such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. However, currently reported detection systems are limited by targeting one ROS with one probe. This one-to-one detection mode may fail to sufficiently unveil the diseased state. In this study, we achieved simultaneous detection of all the five ROS with one probe (i.e., one-to-all detection), by designing a novel para-aminothiophenol (PATP) and hemin-decorated gold (Au/PATP/Hemin) nanoprobe. The design is principled by our discovery that PATP can react with •OH, O2•-, ROO•, and 1O2 by a radical oxidative coupling mechanism to form 4,4'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB). The DMAB then elicited strong characteristic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) peaks at 1142, 1386, and 1432 cm-1; which in turn enables direct detection of •OH, O2•-, ROO•, and 1O2 and indirect detection of H2O2 by hemin-catalyzed fenton reaction to convert H2O2 into •OH. In two representative ROS-elevated mice models of tumors and allergic dermatitis, the Au/PATP/Hemin nanoprobe demonstrated its robust performance of monitoring tumor development and inflammation progression in a highly sensitive and quantitative manner.

Abstract
Surface plasmons (SPs), in which the free electrons are collectively excited on the metal surface, have been successfully used in chemical analysis and signal detection. Generally, SPs possess two types of decay channels. SPs decay either nonradiatively via the generation of hot electrons or radiatively through re-emitted photons, which can trigger surface chemical reactions when the molecules are adsorbed on the surface of metal nanoparticles. An excitation light with a special wavelength is irradiated on the surface of the plasmonic nanostructure, the strong coupling interaction between electrons and light will then occur on this, and this is followed by the development of a series of unique properties. 2D materials have been a hot topic of research for more than a decade, since graphene was found in 2004. Recently, the combination of graphene with metal NPs has been shown to possess many supernormal advantages, such as high stability and catalytic activity, which have been successfully applied in plasmon-exciton co-driven chemical reactions.

Abstract
A process for the photo deposition of noble Ag nanoparticles on a core-shell structure of SiO2@α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite spheres was performed to produce a CO photo oxidation catalyst. The structural analyses were carried out for samples produced using different Ag metal nanoparticle weight percentages on SiO2@α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite spheres by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A computational study was also performed to confirm the existence of the synergic effect of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for different weight percentages of Ag on the SiO2@α-Fe2O3 nanocomposites. The mechanism for CO oxidation on the catalyst was explored using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRFIT). The CO oxidation results for the Ag (2 wt%)-SiO2@α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite spheres showed 48% higher photocatalytic activity than α-Fe2O3 and SiO2@α-Fe2O3 at stable temperature.
