Photoreduction at a Distance: Facile, Nonlocal Photoreduction of Ag Ions in Solution by Plasmon-Mediated Photoemitted Electrons

Surface-immobilized, densely packed gold nanoparticles in contact with aqueous silver ions and exposed to red light rapidly photoreduce silver ions in solution producing radially symmetric metal deposits with diameters many times larger than the diameter of the illuminating laser beam. The average p... View More
