Upon resonant excitation, plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) interact strongly with light and induce localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) resulting from the collective oscillations of free electrons.

Energetic materials (EMs) have found an extensive variety of civilian (mining, demolitions, civil engineering) and military applications 1,2, with civilian applications making up the majority of the ...

WE have recently suggested 1 that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is brought about by the successive reduction of the catalase iron by the peroxide and its re-oxidation by molecular ...

New paper Journal of American Chemical Society #JACS out, led by Emiliano Cortés! Plasmonic nanocrystals can excel at photocatalysis, even for tricky reactions like H2O2 production!
