Plasmon-Induced Chemical Bond Cleavage by Refractory Transition Metal Nitrides

Abstract

This report presents research conducted by NRL Chemistry Division on plasmon-mediated photocatalysis by refractory transition metal nitrides (RTMNs). RTMN materials are synthesized, characterized by a variety of physico-chemical methods and utilized for evaluation of their photocatalytic activity in two reactions: (1) methanol photoelectrochemical oxidation at the electrode/solution interface and (2) oxidation of 2-chloro ethyl sulfide at the photocatalyst/air interface. The mechanisms of promotions are proposed.
