Abstract

Utilizing plasmonic effects to assist electrochemical reactions exhibits a huge potential in tuning the reaction activities and product selectivity, which is most appealing especially in chemical reactions with multiple products, such as CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR). However, a comprehensive review of the development and the underlying mechanisms in plasmon-assisted electrocatalytic CO2RR remains few and far between. Herein, the fundamentals of localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) excitation and the properties of typical plasmonic metals (including Au, Ag, and Cu) are retrospected. Subsequently, the potential mechanisms of plasmonic effects (such as hot carrier effects and photothermal effects) on the reaction performance in the field of plasmon-assisted electrocatalytic CO₂RR are summarized, which provides directions for the future development of this field. It is concluded that plasmonic catalysts exhibit potential capabilities in enhancing CO₂RR while more in situ techniques are essential to further clarify the inner mechanisms.

电催化二氧化碳还原中的等离子体活性和选择性增强综述

利用质子效应辅助电化学反应在调整反应活性和产物选择性方面具有巨大潜力，尤其是在二氧化碳还原反应（CO2RR）等具有多种产物的化学反应中最有吸引力。然而，有关等离子体辅助电催化 CO2RR 的发展和基本机制的全面综述仍然少之又少。本文回顾了局部表面等离子体共振（LSPR）激发的基本原理和典型等离子体金属（包括金、银和铜）的特性。随后，总结了等离子效应（如热载流子效应和光热效应）对等离子体辅助电催化 CO2RR 领域反应性能的潜在影响机制，为该领域的未来发展提供了方向。结论是，质子催化剂在提高 CO2RR 方面表现出了潜在的能力，而更多的原位技术对于进一步阐明其内在机制至关重要。
