We fabricated two-dimensional (2D) arrays of metal–insulator–metal (MIM) plasmonic nanoislands designed to efficiently shuttle hot plasmonic electrons. These MIM nanostructures exhibit higher catalytic activity under light irradiation, revealing a significant impact on the catalytic activity for CO oxidation.

Carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation is considered an important reaction in heterogeneous industrial catalysis and has been extensively studied. Pd supported on SiO2 aerogel catalysts exhibit good catalytic activity toward this reaction owing to their CO bond activation capability and thermal stability. Pd/SiO2 catalysts were investigated using carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation as a model reaction. The catalyst becomes active, and the conversion increases after the temperature reaches the ignition temperature (Tig). A normal hysteresis in carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation has been observed, where the catalysts continue to exhibit high catalytic activity (CO conversion remains at 100%) during the extinction even at temperatures lower than Tig. The catalyst was characterized using BET, TEM, XPS, TGA-DSC, and FTIR. In this work, the influence of pretreatment conditions and stability of the active sites on the catalytic activity and hysteresis is presented. The CO oxidation on the Pd/SiO2 catalyst has been attributed to the dissociative adsorption of molecular oxygen and the activation of the C-O bond, followed by diffusion of adsorbates at Tig to form CO2. Whereas, the hysteresis has been explained by the enhanced stability of the active site caused by thermal effects, pretreatment conditions, Pd-SiO2 support interaction, and PdO formation and decomposition.

The effects of modifying the composition of LaCoO3 on the catalytic activity are predicted by density functional calculations. Partially replacing La by Sr ions has benefical effects, causing a lowering of the formation energy of O vacancies. In contrast to that, doping at the Co site is less effective, as only 3d impurities heavier than Co are able to stabilize vacancies at high concentrations. The comparison of the energy profiles for CO oxidation of undoped and of Ni-, Cu-m and Zn-doped (La,Sr)CoO3(100) surface shows that Cu is most effective. However, the effects are less spectacular than in the SrTiO3 case, due to the different energetics for the formation of oxygen vacancies in the two hosts.

Abstract Borophene monolayer with its intrinsic metallic and anisotropic band structures exhibits extraordinary electronic, optical, and transport properties. Especially, the high density of Dirac electrons enables promising applications for building low-loss broadband SPP devices. However, a systematic characterization of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) properties and hot carriers generated from the inevitable SPP decay in borophene has not been reported so far. Most importantly, the mechanism for SPP losses remains obscurely quantified. In this work, from a fully first-principles perspective, we explicitly evaluate the main loss effects of SPP in borophene, including the Drude resistance, phonon-assisted intraband and direct interband electronic transitions. With this knowledge, we further calculate the frequency- and polarization-dependent SPP response of borophene, and evaluate some typical application-dependent figure of merits of SPP. On the other hand, we evaluate the generation and transport properties of plasmon-driven hot carriers in borophene, involving energy- and momentum-dependent carrier lifetimes and mean free paths, which provide deeper insight toward the transport of hot carriers at the nanoscale. These results indicate that borophene has promising applications in next-generation low-loss optoelectronic devices and photocatalytic reactors.
