Summary: Accurate research on the applications of chiral plasmonic metal nanoparticles with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) still face challenges. This study demonstrates the production of chiral plasmonic metal nanoparticles with tunable chiroptical activities. The results show that the chiral properties can be precisely tailored by adjusting the longitudinal SPR (LSPR) and the amount of gold nanorods as seeds. The functionalization of a shell of another metal or semiconductor can also achieve a shift of the chiral properties within the UV-vis-NIR region. Chirality transfer from the gold core to the silver shell leads to new chiral properties in the near-UV region.

Summary: Heterostructured Au/CuS nanocrystals exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) at two different wavelengths with a slight broadening compared to respective homostructured Au and CuS NCs. The resonant excitation at LSPR maxima of the heterostructured Au/CuS NCs leads to hot charge carrier relaxation associated with both LSPRs. The interaction is faster than phononic or thermal processes and involves energy or charge carrier transfer between the two materials.

Summary: Localized surface plasmons on metallic nanostructures can accelerate molecular transformations, with the efficiency limited by energy/charge transfer control at interfaces. Through a combination of DFT calculations and experiments, a strategy to enhance reaction rates on Au nanoparticles under visible-light irradiation was proposed. The use of Au nanoparticles covered by a thin film of hexagonal boron nitride decouples molecular orbitals from the metal, reducing the activation barrier and optimizing catalytic efficiency in plasmonic photocatalysis.

Summary: This work presents a controllable, green, and facile strategy for preparing Au NRs@MnO2 core/shell nanosheets using the LSPR effect of gold nanorods. MnO2 is obtained through the reduction of KMnO4 with photoelectrons induced by the LSPR effect. Methanol is found to be significant in maintaining the shape of Au nanorods by acting as a hole scavenger, and the OER performance of the resulting Au NRs@MnO2 is notably enhanced under proper irradiation and stable after 1000 cycles.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the H2-D2 exchange reaction catalyzed by Cu nanoparticles is primarily driven by thermalized hot carriers, with an intriguing intensity-dependent external quantum yield exceeding 100% at high light intensities. Quantum mechanical research suggests that vibrational excitations of the surface Cu-H bond are the likely activation mechanism, supporting the effectiveness of low-energy thermalized hot carriers in photocatalyzing this reaction.

Summary: In this study, a novel approach was proposed to fabricate Au@MnO2 core/shell assembled nanosheets utilizing the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of gold nanoparticles. The reduction of KMnO4 to MnO2 on Au NPs under 520 nm light resulted in the gradual assembly into thin sheeted morphology. The significance of irradiation conditions and surface functional groups, particularly the 520 nm light and citrate group, in the formation of stable Au@MnO2 core-shell assembled nanosheets was systematically studied. The controllable, green, and facile nature of this approach allows for its extension to synthesize other complex nanomaterials for various applications.

Summary: This article introduces the engineering of nanobiosensors made from gold nanorods coated with an ultrathin layer of silica and biofunctionalized with antibodies. The use of gold nanorods for biosensing is limited due to the presence of a surfactant that complicates their bio-functionalization. However, when coated with a thin layer of silica, these nanomaterials exhibit improved sensitivity and analytical performances.

Summary: By designing and preparing SnS2/SnS hetero-junction nanosheets with full-band response, efficient photoreduction of Cr(VI) was achieved. The SnS2/SnS heterojunction with tight interfacial links facilitated inter-electron hole transport, leading to high photocatalytic efficiency. Moreover, the presence of SnS improved optical absorption capacity and enhanced photo-thermal conversion efficiency, accelerating the separation ability of photogenerated carriers. Our work provides a promising concept for continuous Cr(VI) removal under all-weather conditions, including weak light irradiation.
