Plasmonic hybrid nanostructure including Semiconductor-metallic nanoparticles, and graphene-plasmonic nanocomposites have great potential to be used as photocatalyst for hydrogen production and for photodegradation of organic waste. Also, they are potential candidate as active materials in photovoltaic devices. Plasmonic-magnetic nanocomposites could be used in photothermal therapy and biomedical imaging. This chapter will focus on the environmental impact of these materials and their in-vitro and in-vivo toxicity. In addition, the applications of these hybrid nanostructures in energy and environment will be discussed in details.

ABSTRACTAn epitaxial shell of cadmium sulphide is grown on lead sulphide quantum dots in order to reduce the concentration of surface defects. Thin solid films of these core/shell materials are found to have low carrier concentrations due to effective surface passivation which reduces the number of dangling bonds. In this paper PbS/CdS is used as a quasi-intrinsic layer in p-i-n photovoltaic devices where PbS acts as the p-layer and ZnO the n-layer. By studying different permutations of these layers and the degree of PbS p-type doping by annealing we optimise fill factor and open-circuit voltage.
