Title: Single-Particle Spectroscopy on Plasmonic Photocatalysis
Speaker: Prof. Wei-Shun Chang
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, United States, 02747
Abstract:  Gold nanoparticles possess unique optical properties as a result of surface plasmon resonances. Plasmonic nanostructures have been explored for various applications, including photocatalysis, nanoscale sensing, photovoltaic devices, bioimaging, and therapeutics. Photoexcitation of surface plasmon resonances generates high-energy carriers or thermal energy that drive chemical reactions. The efficiency of hot carrier and heat generation are regulated by the morphologies of the plasmonic structures. However, the size and shape heterogeneities always appear in the chemically synthesized nanoparticles and impede the detailed structure-function relationship of the nanostructures when characterized by the conventional ensemble measurements. Single-nanoparticle spectroscopy resolves the obstacles of sample heterogeneity to obtain more information that is inaccessible by the ensemble measurements. In this talk, I will present the technique developed in my lab to explore plasmonic photocatalysis at the single-particle level. Measuring the scattering spectra of single nanoparticles provides information about electron transfer at the nanoparticle-substrate interface and the redox reaction on nanoparticles. We have observed efficient electron transfer between gold nanorods and carbon thin films to potentially promote plasmonic catalysis. The capping ligand, polyvinylpyrrolidone, of gold nanorods induces charge separation at the gold-polyvinylpyrrolidone interface and enhances Au+3 reduction for thirteen times under photoexcitation. A detailed mechanism for ligand-induced plasmonic photocatalysis will be discussed. These results provide insight into the design of plasmonic photocatalysts.

    Good day I am so excited I found your blog page, I really found you by mistake, while I
    was searching on Askjeeve for something else, Nonetheless I am here
    now and would just like to say thank you for a tremendous post and a all round entertaining
    blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the moment but I have saved
    it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be
    back to read much more, Please do keep up the superb job.

    Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger, and
    I was curious about your situation; many of us have created
    some nice practices and we are looking to swap techniques with other folks,
    please shoot me an e-mail if interested. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/x%C3%A2y-nh%C3%A0-tr%E1%BB%8Dn-g%C3%B3i-t%E1%BA%A1i-ng%C3%A3-b%E1%BA%A3y-h%E1%BA%ADu-giang-th%E1%BA%A7u-d%E1%BB%B1ng-uy-t%C3%ADn-hoang-oanh-fffvc/

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the
    screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/c%C3%B4ng-ty-x%C3%A2y-d%E1%BB%B1ng-t%E1%BA%A1i-b%C3%ACnh-%C4%91%E1%BB%8Bnh-thi-nh%C3%A0-tr%E1%BB%8Dn-g%C3%B3i-hong-ngoc-5a11c/

    Hi, I do believe this is a great site. I stumbledupon it
    😉 I may return once again since I book-marked it.

    Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be
    rich and continue to guide other people.
