Abstract

O shells. The Au nanocubes with clean surfaces exhibit remarkable performance in plasmon-enhanced electrooxidation of glucose and an enhancement of 445% is demonstrated. The Au NCs with clean surfaces can not only provide more active sites but also avoid halides as hole scavengers, and therefore, the efficient utilization of hot holes by plasmonic excitation is achieved. This process is also generalized to other molecules and applied in electrochemical sensing with high sensitivity. These results highlight the critical role of surface adsorbates in plasmonic catalysis and may forward the design of efficient plasmonic catalysts for plasmon-enhanced electrochemistry.
