3. Demonstration and investigation of hydrogen production by water splitting through plasmon assisted photocatalysis involving a cobalt catalyst.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fysikalisk kemiAbstract : Plasmonic heterostructures are of great interest within the industry and in the academia owing to theirapplications in photovoltaics and photocatalysis. The Localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) leading to an intensification of the electromagnetic (EM) field on the surface of the plasmonic nanoparticles results in an efficient absorption of light over miniscule thickness of the material.

5. Artificial photosynthesis - 4-Aminobenzoic acids effect on charge transfer in a photo catalytic system
University essay from Uppsala universitet/MaterialteoriAbstract : Artificial photosynthesis is used to harvest solar energy and store it in the form of chemical bonds. The system of interest in this study does this by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gas through a plasmon assisted process, collective oscillations from free electron gas. READ MORE
