Plasmon-Enhanced Performance of an Array of Core-Shell Silver Nanoparticles Photodeposited onto a Titanium Dioxide Layer

Article Preview

Abstract:

A plasmonic photocatalytic reactor which composed of a periodic array of core-shell silver nanoparticles (CSSNPs) photodeposited onto a Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) thin film in a multilayer rotating-disk system was numerically investigated by using three-dimensional finite element method. Results show that the proposed structure can exhibit much higher photocalytic activity in a broad range of incident angle of light that are not observed for the same counterpart without the CSSNPs on the SiO2 surface. The enhanced electric field distribution and intensity could be expanded as the inner diameter of CSSNPs and incident angle of light increased.
