EUROPEAN CONGRESS AND EXHIBITION ON ADVANCED MATERIALS AND PROCESSES - EUROMAT 2021

Optical modes engineering in metallic and dielectric nanoparticles could open new paths for assisting chemical transformations using sunlight. In recent years, we have investigated these phenomena at the single nanoparticle level in order to unravel the mechanisms inducing catalytic transformations at these illuminated interfaces. Here I will show how gaining a nanoscopic insight of these processes could aid in the rational design of novel plasmonic and photonic photocatalysts and platforms.
