New strategies to address these issues include the utilization of photoexcited charge carriers to overcome activation barriers for reactions that produce desirable products. This study demonstrates surface\u2010plasmon\u2010enhanced photoelectrochemical reduction of CO 2 and nitrate (NO 3 \u2212 ) on silver nanostructured electrodes. The observed photocurrent likely originates from a resonant charge transfer between the photogenerated plasmonic hot electrons and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (MO) acceptor energy levels of adsorbed CO 2 , NO 3 \u2212 , or their reductive intermediates. The observed differences in the resonant effects at the Ag electrode with respect to electrode potential and photon energy for CO 2 versus NO 3 \u2212 reduction suggest that plasmonic hot\u2010carriers interact selectively with specific MO acceptor energy levels of adsorbed surface species such as CO 2 , NO 3 \u2212 , or their reductive intermediates. This unique plasmon\u2010assisted charge generation and transfer mechanism can be used to increase yield, efficiency, and selectivity of various photoelectrochemical processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOI: 10.1002\/aenm.201800363 Authors: Young-Sang Kim, Erin B.
