The photothermal nonlinearity in plasmon-assisted photocatalysis
Ieng-Wai Un, Yonatan Dubi, Yonatan Sivan
Understanding the intricate relation between illumination and temperature in metallic nano-particles is crucial for elucidating the role of illumination in various physical process…
Matters Arising in -- "Plasmon-driven carbon-fluorine (C(sp^)-F) bond activation with mechanistic insights into hot-carrier-mediated pathways"
Yonatan Dubi, Ieng Wai Un, Joshua H. Baraban +1
In a recent paper~[Nature Catalysis 3, 573 (2020)], Robatjazi {\em et al.} demonstrate hydrodefluorination on Al nanocrystals decorated by Pd islands under illumination and under e…
The role of heat generation and fluid flow in plasmon-enhanced reduction-oxidation reactions
Ieng Wai Un, Yonatan Sivan
Recently, we have shown that thermal effects play a crucial role in speeding up the rate of bond-dissociation reactions. This was done by applying a simple temperature-shifted Arrh…
Thermal effects - an alternative mechanism for plasmonic-assisted photo-catalysis
Yonatan Sivan, Ieng Wai Un, Yonatan Dubi
Recent experiments claimed that the enhancement of catalytic reaction rates occurs via the reduction of activation barriers driven by non-equilibrium (``hot'') electrons in plasmon…
