Abstract

Plasmonic nanomaterials (PNMs) and catalytically active surfaces, when combined, provide novel opportunities for a wide range of potential applications of catalysis. When stimulated by the right kind of light, surface plasmons can be put to use to either directly cause or indirectly facilitate a wide variety of chemical reactions. PNMs are currently the center of extensive research that is being conducted for the purpose of determining whether or not they could be utilized to improve the efficiency of catalytic reactions. This is due to the fact that PNMs have the alluring ability to interact with light in a powerful fashion. These structures exhibit the singular property of localised surface plasmon resonance, which transforms light of a particular wavelength ranges into hot charge carriers, together with high local electromagnetic fields, or heat, which may all contribute in different ways to increasing the reaction efficiency. Plasmon-mediated catalysts, which go beyond the highly influential application of supported gold nanomaterials (NMs) to photo-oxidation reactions, can be utilised to create a greater variety of visible-light induced catalysts by combining various metals and supports with available Au, Ag, and Cu NMs and PNMs photocatalysts. Plasmon-mediated catalysts go beyond the highly influential application of supported gold nanomaterials (NMs) to photo-oxidation reactions. This would make it possible to develop a greater diversity of photocatalysts, which are catalysts that can be powered by visible light. This review will focus on the PNMs-based catalyst for alcohol oxidation, which will be addressed within the framework of this research.
