使用纳米等离子体技术来控制接近热力学极限的光和热，为等离子体催化领域带来了令人兴奋的机会。等离子体激发的衰变产生了热载流子的高度不平衡分布，可以通过热和非热途径引发或催化反应。在本视角中，我们介绍了当前对等离子体催化领域的理解，捕捉了文献中充满活力的争论，并讨论了克服关键瓶颈的未来探索途径。我们的视角涵盖相关和非平衡光-物质相互作用的第一原理理论和计算、新型纳米等离子体杂化物的合成以及等离子体催化中相互作用的新型稳态和超快光谱探针，认识到每个学科在实现等离子体催化前景方面的关键贡献。最后，我们对未来几年等离子体驱动化学反应领域的基础和技术进步提出了愿景。
The use of nanoplasmonics to control light and heat close to the thermodynamic limit enables exciting opportunities in the field of plasmonic catalysis. The decay of plasmonic excitations creates highly nonequilibrium distributions of hot carriers that can initiate or catalyze reactions through both thermal and nonthermal pathways. In this Perspective, we present the current understanding in the field of plasmonic catalysis, capturing vibrant debates in the literature, and discuss future avenues of exploration to overcome critical bottlenecks. Our Perspective spans first-principles theory and computation of correlated and far-from-equilibrium light-matter interactions, synthesis of new nanoplasmonic hybrids, and new steady-state and ultrafast spectroscopic probes of interactions in plasmonic catalysis, recognizing the key contributions of each discipline in realizing the promise of plasmonic catalysis. We conclude with our vision for fundamental and technological advances in the field of plasmondriven chemical reactions in the coming years.
