Direct and Broadband Plasmonic Charge Transfer to Enhance Water Oxidation on a Gold Electrode
Matthias Graf, Gregor B. Vonbun‐Feldbauer, Marc T. M. Koper
Abstract
SERS approach. Density functional theory calculations confirm the appearance of excitable states below the Fermi level. The photocurrent enhancement and broadband characteristics reveal the potential of the plasmonic approach to improve the efficiency of photoelectrochemical water splitting.
