| Research Abstract |
We have found that photoinduced charge separation is possible at the interfaces between Au or Ag nanoparticles (NPs) and TiO_2. The charge separation is based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the NPs, and electron transfer from photoexcited metal NPs to TiO_2, which is induced or promoted by plasmonic near field, is responsible for the charge separation. We have also found that the present system can be applied to photovoltaic devices, photocatalysis, and photoelectrochemical actuators, as well as near infrared and polarization-selective photochromism and morphology and orientation control of NPs.
