Nanoplasmonic Catalysis for Synthetic Fuel Production
Abstract
Our objective is to assess whether catalytic enhancement can be achieved in the production of synthetic fuels by integrating plasmon resonant nanostructures with strongly catalytic materials. We seek a fundamental understanding of the basic mechanism underlying this enhancement with the ultimate goal of producing synthetic fuels, such as hydrogen, methane and methanol using visible illumination.
