Abstract
Doping a transition metal element into plasmonic systems can tune the optical properties of the system, which will potentially facilitate the plasmon-enhanced catalytic process. In this study, we applied the linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) method with real-time electron dynamics and mean-field Ehrenfest dynamics methods to computationally investigate the effects of doping silver nanowires on plasmon-enhanced N2 dissociation. We calculated the absorption spectra for different doped systems, applied an external electric field to the system, and performed mean-field Ehrenfest dynamics to examine how plasmonic excitation will affect the N2 activation or dissociation. In addition, we also studied how the transition metal dopant affects the system's electronic structure and potential energy surface.

Abstract
Understanding illumination-mediated kinetics is essential for catalyst design in plasmon catalysis. Here we prepare Pd-based plasmonic catalysts with tunable electronic structures to reveal the underlying illumination-enhanced kinetic mechanisms for formic acid (HCOOH) dehydrogenation. We demonstrate a kinetic switch from a competitive Langmuir-Hinshelwood adsorption mode in dark to a non-competitive type under irradiation triggered by local field and hot carriers. Specifically, the electromagnetic field induces a spatial-temporal separation of dehydrogenation-favorable configurations of reactant molecule HCOOH and HCOO- due to their natural different polarities. Meanwhile, the generated energetic carriers can serve as active sites for selective molecular adsorption. The hot electrons act as adsorption sites for HCOOH, while holes prefer to adsorb HCOO- . Such unique non-competitive adsorption kinetics induced by plasmon effects serves as another typical characteristic of plasmonic catalysis that remarkably differs from thermocatalysis. This work unravels unique adsorption transformations and a kinetic switching driven by plasmon nonthermal effects.

Abstract
Bimetallic alloy materials attract interest owing to their properties and stability compared to pure metals, especially alloys with nanoscale dimensions. Metal antimony (MSb) alloys, specifically NiSb, are widely used for charge storage applications due to their high stability. Most synthetic approaches to form these materials require drastic conditions (e.g., high temperatures, potent reducing agents, and extended reaction times), limiting control over the final morphology. The other viable approach is a galvanic replacement that uses unstable materials as precursors. In this work, we present a new and facile method to prepare several MSb (M = Ni, Co, Ag) alloys with shape control by reacting Sb2S3 particles with a metal(M)-sulfide single source precursor in trioctylphosphine (TOP) under mild conditions. Furthermore, we explore the role of TOP as a reducing agent and demonstrate how both alloy constituents are crucial for mutual stabilization. Electrochemical studies are also performed on these NiSb particles, showing their ambipolar nature and allowing their utilization as the active ingredient in the demonstrated high-energy-density symmetric supercapacitor.

Abstract
A new modular, easy-to-synthesize photocatalyst was prepared by assembling colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QD) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) via their ligands thanks to copper-catalyzed azide to alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry. The resulting composite (QD-AuNP) photocatalyst was tested with a benchmark photoredox system previously reported by our group, for which QD alone acted as a photocatalyst but with a modest quantum yield (QY = 0.06%) and turnover number (TON = 350 in 3 h) due to poor charge separation. After optimization, the QD-AuNP composites exhibited much improved photocatalytic performances: up to five times higher TON (2600 in 3 h) and up to 24 times faster reaction in the first 10 min of visible irradiation. Such an improvement is attributed to an efficient electron transfer from QD to AuNP in the photoexcited QD-AuNP composites, which ensures a much better charge separation than that in QD alone. This was confirmed by studying both (i) the quenching of the QD photoluminescence during the synthesis of the QD-AuNP composites and (ii) the blue shift of the AuNP plasmon absorption band due to the accumulation of up to 7400 electrons per AuNP in QD-AuNP composites under visible light irradiation in the presence of electron donors.

Abstract
Photoconversion of CO2 and H2 O into ethanol is an ideal strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the production of ethanol with high activity and selectivity is challenging owing to the less efficient reduction half-reaction involving multi-step proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), a slow C-C coupling process, and sluggish water oxidation half-reaction. Herein, a two-dimensional/two-dimensional (2D/2D) S-scheme heterojunction consisting of black phosphorus and Bi2 WO6 (BP/BWO) was constructed for photocatalytic CO2 reduction coupling with benzylamine (BA) oxidation. The as-prepared BP/BWO catalyst exhibits a superior photocatalytic performance toward CO2 reduction, with a yield of 61.3 μmol g-1 h-1 for ethanol (selectivity of 91 %).In situ spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations reveal that S-scheme heterojunction can effectively promote photogenerated carrier separation via the Bi-O-P bridge to accelerate the PCET process. Meanwhile, electron-rich BP acts as the active site and plays a vital role in the process of C-C coupling. In addition, the substitution of BA oxidation for H2 O oxidation can further enhance the photocatalytic performance of CO2 reduction to C2 H5 OH. This work opens a new horizon for exploring novel heterogeneous photocatalysts in CO2 photoconversion to C2 H5 OH based on cooperative photoredox systems.

Abstract
Although the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries primarily utilize batch homogeneous reactions to carry out chemical transformations, emerging platforms seek to improve existing shortcomings by designing effective heterogeneous catalysis systems in continuous flow reactors. In this work, we present a versatile network-supported palladium (Pd) catalyst using a hybrid polymer of poly(methylvinylether-alt-maleic anhydride) and branched polyethyleneimine for intensified continuous flow synthesis of complex organic compounds via heterogeneous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and nitroarene hydrogenation reactions. The hydrophilicity of the hybrid polymer network facilitates the reagent mass transfer throughout the bulk of the catalyst particles. Through rapid automated exploration of the continuous and discrete parameters, as well as substrate scope screening, we identified optimal hybrid network-supported Pd catalyst composition and process parameters for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides with steady-state yields up to 92% with a nominal residence time of 20 min. The developed heterogeneous catalytic system exhibits high activity and mechanical stability with no detectable Pd leaching at reaction temperatures up to 95 °C. Additionally, the versatility of the hybrid network-supported Pd catalyst is demonstrated by successfully performing continuous nitroarene hydrogenation with short residence times (<5 min) at room temperature. Room temperature hydrogenation yields of >99% were achieved in under 2 min nominal residence times with no leaching and catalyst deactivation for more than 20 h continuous time on stream. This catalytic system shows its industrial utility with significantly improved reaction yields of challenging substrates and its utility of environmentally-friendly solvent mixtures, high reusability, scalable and cost-effective synthesis, and multi-reaction successes.

Abstract
A tremendous research has been appeared on Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) during the last four decades due to its high prominence in constructing biaryl motifs of several complexes as well as simple organic compounds of high biological and commercial significance. The use of organic solid waste-derived materials for SMC in benign solvents like water/aqueous media is a very good achievement in these cases. We report in this article the usability of water extract of Tamarindus indica seeds ash (WETS) as a renewable base and reaction medium for Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed SMC reaction at room temperature (RT). The WETS has been characterized using powder XRD, EDAX, SEM, and FTIR analysis. Furthermore, this process is highly environmentally beneficial by the waste repurposing to prominent chemical transformation along with the advantages such as ambient condition and avoids non-renewable chemicals like volatile organic solvents, ligands, promoters, and bases. Based on these merits and the quick reactions with high yields of products, this method can attain the interest of the scientific community in exploring the waste-derived ashes to significant chemical transformations.

Abstract
Developing an efficient catalyst for formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation is a promising strategy for safe hydrogen storage and transportation. Herein, we successfully developed trimetallic NiAuPd heterogeneous catalysts through a galvanic replacement reaction and a subsequent chemical reduction process to boost hydrogen generation from FA decomposition at room temperature by coupling Fermi level engineering with plasmonic effect. We demonstrated that Ni worked as an electron reservoir to donate electrons to Au and Pd driven by Fermi level equilibrium whereas plasmonic Au served as an optical absorber to generate energetic hot electrons and a charge-redistribution mediator. Ni and Au worked cooperatively to promote the charge heterogeneity of surface-active Pd sites, leading to enhanced chemisorption of formate-related intermediates and eventually outstanding activity (342 mmol g-1 h-1 ) compared with bimetallic counterpart. This work offers excellent insight into the rational design of efficient catalysts for practical hydrogen energy exploitation.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructures have shown immense potential in photocatalysis because of their distinct photochemical properties associated with tunable photoresponses and strong light-matter interactions. The introduction of highly active sites is essential to fully exploit the potential of plasmonic nanostructures in photocatalysis, considering the inferior intrinsic activities of typical plasmonic metals. This review focuses on active site-engineered plasmonic nanostructures with enhanced photocatalytic performance, wherein the active sites are classified into four types (i.e., metallic sites, defect sites, ligand-grafted sites, and interface sites). The synergy between active sites and plasmonic nanostructures in photocatalysis is discussed in detail after briefly introducing the material synthesis and characterization methods. Active sites can promote the coupling of solar energy harvested by plasmonic metal to catalytic reactions in the form of local electromagnetic fields, hot carriers, and photothermal heating. Moreover, efficient energy coupling potentially regulates the reaction pathway by facilitating the excited state formation of reactants, changing the status of active sites, and creating additional active sites using photoexcited plasmonic metals. Afterward, the application of active site-engineered plasmonic nanostructures in emerging photocatalytic reactions is summarized. Finally, a summary and perspective of the existing challenges and future opportunities are presented. This review aims to deliver some insights into plasmonic photocatalysis from the perspective of active sites, expediting the discovery of high-performance plasmonic photocatalysts.

Abstract
Plasmon-induced energy and charge transfer from metal nanostructures hold great potential for harvesting solar energy. Presently, the efficiencies of charge-carrier extraction are still low due to the competitive ultrafast mechanisms of plasmon relaxation. Using single-particle electron energy loss spectroscopy, we correlate the geometrical and compositional details of individual nanostructures to their carrier extraction efficiencies. By removing ensemble effects, we are able to show a direct structure-function relationship that permits the rational design of the most efficient metal-semiconductor nanostructures for energy harvesting applications. In particular, by developing a hybrid system comprising Au nanorods with epitaxially grown CdSe tips, we are able to control and enhance charge extraction. We show that optimal structures can have efficiencies as high as 45%. The quality of the Au-CdSe interface and the dimensions of the Au rod and CdSe tip are shown to be critical for achieving these high efficiencies of chemical interface damping.

Abstract
Selective activation of the C(sp3 )-H bond is an important process in organic synthesis, where efficiently activating a specific C(sp3 )-H bond without causing side reactions remains one of chemistry's great challenges. Here we report that illuminated plasmonic silver metal nanoparticles (NPs) can abstract hydrogen from the C(sp3 )-H bond of the Cα atom of an alkyl aryl ether β-O-4 linkage. The intense electromagnetic near-field generated at the illuminated plasmonic NPs promotes chemisorption of the β-O-4 compound and the transfer of photo-generated hot electrons from the NPs to the adsorbed molecules leads to hydrogen abstraction and direct cleavage of the unreactive ether Cβ -O bond under moderate reaction conditions (≈90 °C). The plasmon-driven process has certain exceptional features: enabling hydrogen abstraction from a specific C(sp3 )-H bond, along with precise scission of the targeted C-O bond to form aromatic compounds containing unsaturated, substituted groups in excellent yields.

Abstract
In recent decades, membrane-based processes have been extensively applied to a wide range of industrial processes, including gas separation, food industry, drug purification, and wastewater treatment. Membrane distillation is a thermally driven separation process, in which only vapour molecules transfer through a microporous hydrophobic membrane. At the operational level, the performance of membrane distillation is negatively affected by wetting and temperature polarization phenomena. In order to overcome these issues, advanced membranes have been developed in recent years. This review, which focuses specifically on membrane distillation presents the basic concepts associated with the mass and heat transfer through hydrophobic membranes, membrane properties, and advances in membrane materials. Photothermal materials for solar-driven membrane distillation applications are also presented and discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, electrocatalysis was progressively developed to facilitate the selective oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) towards the value-added chemical 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Among reported electrocatalysts, alloy materials have demonstrated superior electrocatalytic properties due to their tunable electronic and geometric properties. However, a specific discussion of the potential impacts of alloy structures on the electrocatalytic HMF oxidation performance has not yet been presented in available Reviews. In this regard, this Review introduces the most recent perspectives on the alloy-driven electrocatalysis for HMF oxidation towards FDCA, including oxidation mechanism, alloy nanostructure modulation, and external conditions control. Particularly, modulation strategies for electronic and geometric structures of alloy electrocatalysts have been discussed. Challenges and suggestions are also provided for the rational design of alloy electrocatalysts. The viewpoints presented herein are anticipated to potentially contribute to a further development of alloy-driven electrocatalytic oxidation of HMF towards FDCA and to help boost a more sustainable and efficient biomass refining system.

Abstract
Dimethyl carbonimidodithioates, 2 derived from various primary aryl amines (1) by reacting with carbon disulfide and methyl iodide in dimethyl formamide in the presence of concentrated sodium hydroxide, are converted to the diaziridine derivatives, 3 by reacting with hydrazine in ethanol. The diaziridines, 3 on oxidation with lead tetraacetate in refluxing xylene, extrudes nitrogen, and intramolecular stabilization, particularly 1,2-carbon migration, takes place to give the product, 5. The reaction may take place through the intermediates, diazirines, 4, which have not been isolated. This work provides a new approach for the conversion of aryl amines having no α-methylene to aryl nitriles.

Abstract
Visible-light-driven organic transformation photocatalyzed by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) under mild conditions is considered a feasible route to conserve energy and simplify synthesis. Herein, a light-sensitized, three-dimensional uranyl-organic framework (HNU-64) with twofold interpenetration and its derivatives HNU-64-CH3 and HNU-64-Cl with functionalized ligands of -CH3 and -Cl groups were obtained. These MOFs have broad optical absorption bands and suitable band energy levels in photooxidation, which makes them exhibit high activity and selectivity for the photooxidation of benzylamine to N-benzylbenzoimide under mild conditions. This work provides an efficient and simple synthetic option for oxidative coupling of amines to directly produce imines.

Abstract
Freshwater scarcity is a vital societal challenge related to climate change, population pressure, and agricultural and industrial demands. Therefore, sustainable desalination/purification of salty/contaminated water for human uses is particularly relevant. Membrane distillation is an emerging hybrid thermal-membrane technology with the potential to overcome the drawbacks of conventional desalination by a synergic exploitation of the water-energy nexus. Although membrane distillation is considered a green technology, efficient heat management remains a critical concern affecting the cost of the process and hindering its viability at large scale. A multidisciplinary approach that involves materials chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials and polymer science is required to solve this problem. The combination of solar energy with membrane distillation is considered a potentially feasible low-cost approach for providing high-quality freshwater with a low carbon footprint. In particular, recent discoveries about efficient light-to-heat conversion in nanomaterials have opened unprecedented perspectives for the implementation of sunlight-based renewable energy in membrane distillation. The integration of nanofillers enabling photothermal effects into membranes has been demonstrated to be able to significantly enhance the energy efficiency without impacting on economic costs. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview on the state of the art, the opportunities, open challenges and pitfalls of the emerging field of solar-driven membrane distillation. We also assess the peculiar physicochemical properties and synthesis scalability of photothermal materials, as well as the strategies for their integration into polymeric nanocomposite membranes enabling efficient light-to-heat conversion and freshwater.

Abstract
Abstract
Luminescent quantum dots (QDs) represent a new form of carbon nanomaterials which have gained widespread attention in recent years, especially in the area of chemical sensing, bioimaging, nanomedicine, solar cells, light-emitting diode (LED), and electrocatalysis. Their extremely small size renders some unusual properties such as quantum confinement effects, good surface binding properties, high surface‐to‐volume ratios, broad and intense absorption spectra in the visible region, optical and electronic properties different from those of bulk materials. Apart from, during the past few years, QDs offer new and versatile ways to serve as photocatalysts in organic synthesis. Quantum dots (QD) have band gaps that could be nicely controlled by a number of factors in a complicated way, mentioned in the article. Processing, structure, properties and applications are also reviewed for semiconducting quantum dots. Overall, this review aims to summarize the recent innovative applications of QD or its modified nanohybrid as efficient, robust, photoassisted redox catalysts in C–C and C-heteroatom bond forming reactions. The recent structural modifications of QD or its core structure in the development of new synthetic methodologies are also highlighted. Following a primer on the structure, properties, and bio-functionalization of QDs, herein selected examples of QD as a recoverable sustainable nanocatalyst in various green media are embodied for future reference.

Abstract
Plasmon-assisted chemistry is the result of a complex interplay between electromagnetic near fields, heat and charge transfer on the nanoscale. The disentanglement of their roles is non-trivial. Therefore, a thorough knowledge of the chemical, structural and spectral properties of the plasmonic/molecular system being used is required. Specific techniques are needed to fully characterize optical near fields, temperature and hot carriers with spatial, energetic and/or temporal resolution. The timescales for all relevant physical and chemical processes can range from a few femtoseconds to milliseconds, which necessitates the use of time-resolved techniques for monitoring the underlying dynamics. In this Review, we focus on experimental techniques to tackle these challenges. We further outline the difficulties when going from the ensemble level to single-particle measurements. Finally, a thorough understanding of plasmon-assisted chemistry also requires a substantial joint experimental and theoretical effort.

Abstract
Employing a suitable cocatalyst is very important to improve photocatalytic H2 evolution activity. Herein, two plasmonic cocatalysts, Au nanoparticles and TiN nanoparticles were in-situ coupled over the g-C3N4 nanotube to form a ternary 0D/0D/1D Au/TiN/g-C3N4 composite via a successive thermal polycondensation and chemical reduction method. The g-C3N4 nanotube acted as a support for the growth of Au and TiN nanoparticles, leading to intimate contact between g-C3N4 nanotube with Au nanoparticles and TiN nanoparticles. As a result, multiple interfaces and dual-junctions of Au/g-C3N4 Schottky-junction and TiN/g-C3N4 ohmic-junction were constructed, which helped to promote the charged carriers' separation and enhanced the photocatalytic performance. Furthermore, loading plasmonic cocatalysts of Au nanoparticles and TiN nanoparticles can enhance the light absorption capacity. Consequently, the Au/TiN/g-C3N4 composite exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution activity (596 μmol g-1 h-1) compared to g-C3N4 or binary composites of Au/g-C3N4 and TiN/g-C3N4. This work highlights the significant role of cocatalysts in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Plasmonic photocatalysis has emerged as a prominent and growing field. It enables the efficient use of sunlight as an abundant and renewable energy source to drive a myriad of chemical reactions. For instance, plasmonic photocatalysis in materials comprising TiO2 and plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) enables effective charge carrier separation and the tuning of optical response to longer wavelength regions (visible and near infrared). In fact, TiO2 -based materials and plasmonic effects are at the forefront of heterogeneous photocatalysis, having applications in energy conversion, production of liquid fuels, wastewater treatment, nitrogen fixation, and organic synthesis. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the fundamentals and to provide the guidelines for future work in the field of TiO2 -based plasmonic photocatalysis comprising the above-mentioned applications. The concepts and state-of-the-art description of important parameters including the formation of Schottky junctions, hot electron generation and transfer, near field electromagnetic enhancement, plasmon resonance energy transfer, scattering, and photothermal heating effects have been covered in this review. Synthetic approaches and the effect of various physicochemical parameters in plasmon-mediated TiO2 -based materials on performances are discussed. It is envisioned that this review may inspire and provide insights into the rational development of the next generation of TiO2 -based plasmonic photocatalysts with target performances and enhanced selectivities.

Abstract
The selective oxidation of amines into imines is a priority research topic in organic synthesis and has attracted much attention over the past few decades. However, the oxidation of amines generally suffers from the drawback of transition-metal, even noble-metal catalysts. Thus, the strategy of metal- and oxidant-free selective synthesis of imines is highly desirable yet largely unmet. This paper unravels a metal-free and external oxidant-free electrochemical strategy for the oxidative coupling methodology of amines. This general transformation is compatible with various functional amines and led to functionalized imines in moderate to satisfactory yields.

Abstract
Photo-thermal catalysis has recently emerged as a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of traditional photocatalysis. Despite its potential, most of the photo-thermal systems still lack adequate selectivity patterns and appropriate analysis of the underlying reaction pathways, thus hampering a wide implementation. Herein, a novel photocatalyst based on Pd nanoparticles (NPs) supported on barium titanate (BTO) was prepared for the selective photo-thermal reduction of CO2 and displayed catalytic rates of up to 8.2 molCO gPd -1 h-1 . The photocatalyst allowed for a tailored selectivity towards CO or CH4 as a function of the metal loading or the light intensity. Mechanistic studies indicated that both thermal and non-thermal contributions of light played a role in the overall reaction pathway, each of them being dominant upon changing reaction conditions.

Abstract
Electron transfer plays a major role in chemical reactions and processes, and this is particularly true of catalysis by nanomaterials. The advent of metal nanoparticle (NP) catalysts, recently including atomically precise nanoclusters (NCs) as parts of nanocatalyst devices has brought increased control of the relationship between NP and NC structures and their catalytic functions. Consequently, the molecular definition of these new nanocatalysts has allowed a better understanding and management of various kinds of electron transfer involved in the catalytic processes. This Minireview brings a chemist's view of several major aspects of electron-transfer functions concerning NPs and NCs in catalytic processes. Particular focus concerns the role of NPs and NCs as electron reservoirs and light-induced antenna in catalytic processes from H2 generation to more complex reactions and sustainable energy production.

Abstract
The regeneration cycle of expensive cofactor, NAD(P)H, is of paramount importance for the bio-catalyzed redox reactions. Here a ZrO2supported bimetallic nanocatalyst of gold-palladium (Au-Pd/ZrO2) was prepared to catalyze the regeneration of NAD(P)H without using electron mediators and extra energy input. Over 98% of regeneration efficiency can be achieved catlyzed by Au-Pd/ZrO2using TEOA as the electron donor. Mechanism study showed that the regeneration of NAD(P)H took place through a two-step process: Au-Pd/ZrO2nanocatalyst first catalyzed the oxidation of triethanolamine (TEOA) to glycolaldehyde (GA), then the generated GA induced the non-catalytic reducing of NAD(P)+to NAD(P)H under an alkaline environment maintained by TEOA. This two-step mechanism enables the decoupling of the regeneration of NAD(P)H in space and time into a catalytic oxidation and non-catalytic reducing cascade process which has been further verified using a variety of electron donors. The application significance of this procedure is further demonstrated both by the favorable stability of Au-Pd/ZrO2nanocatalyst in 5 successive cycles preserving over 90% of its original activity, and by the excellent performance of the regenerated NADH as the cofactor in the catalytic hydrogenation of acetaldehyde using an ethanol dehydrogenase.

Abstract
The shape of AuPd nanoparticles is engineered by surface stress relaxation, achieved by varying the Au content in nanoparticles of Pd-rich compositions. AuPd nanoparticles are grown in the gas phase for several compositions and growth conditions. Their structure is atomically resolved by HRTEM/STEM and EDX. In pure Pd distributions the dominant structures are FCC truncated octahedra (TO), while increasing the Au content there is a transition to icosahedral (Ih) structures in which Au atoms are preferentially placed at the nanoparticle surface. The transition is sharper for growth conditions closer to equilibrium. The physical origin of the transition is determined with the aid of computer simulations. Global optimization searches and free energy calculations confirm that Ih become the equilibrium structure for increasing the Au content. Atomic stress calculations demonstrate that the TO → Ih shape change is caused by a better relaxation of anisotropic surface stress in icosahedra.

Abstract
Facile fabrication of Fe-based nanotheranostic agents with the enhanced Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effect and multiple functions is important for oncotherapy. In this report, noble-metal@FexOy core-shell nanoparticles (Au@FexOy NPs, AuRu@FexOy NPs, AuPt@FexOy NPs and AuPd@FexOy NPs) are one-pot constructed by a simply redox self-assembly strategy. As a typical example, AuPd@FexOy NPs are applied for oncotherapy. Compared to their crystalline counterparts (e.g., AuPd@c-Fe2O3 nanocrystals (NCs)), AuPd@FexOy NPs with the metastable FexOy shell can be activated by a small amount of NaBH4 to obviously enhance the production of ·OH in subsequent Fenton reaction (these activated products are termed as r-AuPd@FexOy NPs). In addition, a favorable photothermal effect (63.5% photothermal conversion efficiency) of r-AuPd@FexOy NPs can further promote the ·OH generation. Moreover, r-AuPd@FexOy NPs also show a pH-responsive T1-weighted MRI contrast property, CT imaging capacity and the function of regulating tumor microenvironment. This work presents an attractive route to prepare versatile nanotheranostic agents.

Abstract
Because plasmonic metal nanostructures combine strong light absorption with catalytically active surfaces, they have become platforms for the light-assisted catalysis of chemical reactions. The enhancement of reaction rates by plasmonic excitation has been extensively discussed. This review focuses on a less discussed aspect: the induction of new reaction pathways by light excitation. Through commentary on seminal reports, we describe the principles behind the optical modulation of chemical reactivity and selectivity on plasmonic metal nanostructures. Central to these phenomena are excited charge carriers generated by plasmonic excitation, which modify the energy landscape available to surface reactive species and unlock pathways not conventionally available in thermal catalysis. Photogenerated carriers can trigger bond dissociation or desorption in an adsorbate-selective manner, drive charge transfer and multielectron redox reactions, and generate radical intermediates. Through one or more of these mechanisms, a specific pathway becomes favored under light. By improved control over these mechanisms, light-assisted catalysis can be transformational for chemical synthesis and energy conversion.

Abstract
The size- and shape-controlled enhanced optical response of metal nanoparticles (NPs) is referred to as a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). LSPRs result in amplified surface and interparticle electric fields, which then enhance light absorption of the molecules or other materials coupled to the metallic NPs and/or generate hot carriers within the NPs themselves. When mediated by metallic NPs, photocatalysis can take advantage of this unique optical phenomenon. This review highlights the contributions of quantum mechanical modeling in understanding and guiding current attempts to incorporate plasmonic excitations to improve the kinetics of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. A range of first-principles quantum mechanics techniques has offered insights, from ground-state density functional theory (DFT) to excited-state theories such as multireference correlated wavefunction methods. Here we discuss the advantages and limitations of these methods in the context of accurately capturing plasmonic effects, with accompanying examples.

Abstract
Bimetallic nanorods are important colloidal nanoparticles for optical applications, sensing, and light-enhanced catalysis due to their versatile plasmonic properties. However, tuning the plasmonic resonances is challenging as it requires a simultaneous control over the particle shape, shell thickness, and morphology. Here, we show that we have full control over these parameters by performing metal overgrowth on gold nanorods within a mesoporous silica shell, resulting in Au-Ag, Au-Pd, and Au-Pt core-shell nanorods with precisely tunable plasmonic properties. The metal shell thickness was regulated via the precursor concentration and reaction time in the metal overgrowth. Control over the shell morphology was achieved via a thermal annealing, enabling a transition from rough nonepitaxial to smooth epitaxial Pd shells while retaining the anisotropic rod shape. The core-shell synthesis was successfully scaled up from micro- to milligrams, by controlling the kinetics of the metal overgrowth via the pH. By carefully tuning the structure, we optimized the plasmonic properties of the bimetallic core-shell nanorods for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The Raman signal was the most strongly enhanced by the Au core-Ag shell nanorods, which we explain using finite-difference time-domain calculations.

Abstract
Plasmonic hybrid nanostructures have been investigated as attractive heterogeneous photocatalysts that can utilize sunlight to produce valuable chemicals. In particular, the efficient photoconversion of CO2 into a stable hydrocarbon with sunlight can be a promising strategy to achieve a sustainable human life on Earth. The next step for hydrocarbons once obtained from CO2 is the carbon–carbon coupling reactions to produce a valuable chemical for energy storage or fine chemicals. For these purposes, plasmonic nanomaterials have been widely investigated as a visible-light-induced photocatalyst to achieve increased efficiency of photochemical reactions with sunlight. In this review, we discuss recent achievements involving plasmonic hybrid photocatalysts that have been investigated for CO and CO2 photoreductions to form multi-carbon products and for C–C coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions.

Abstract
The effective utilization of visible light is required for exploiting photocatalytic reactions in indoor and outdoor environments. In this study, Pd-supported BiVO4 microspheres (Pd-BiVO4) were prepared for visible light-induced photocatalytic reactions. Under irradiation with a white light-emitting diode, the obtained Pd-BiVO4 composite exhibited considerably improved catalytic activity for the decomposition of an organic dye compared with other BiVO4 catalysts. The Pd-BiVO4 composite was also effective for catalytic organic transformation via the visible light-induced Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. The photogenerated electrons in the conduction band of BiVO4 flowed to the Pd nanoparticles and amplified cross-coupling reaction. The influence of the crystal structure and grain size of BiVO4 and the role of the deposited Pd nanoparticles were fully investigated to elucidate the visible light activity of the catalyst. This system highlights the possibility of an indoor light source with low energy density for sustainable organic transformations.
